I think your premise is flawed. There are too many reasons the ball could be out in the defense's back court that have nothing to do with good defense. Maybe they committed a 8 second violation (10 seconds in the US). Maybe they threw it out of bounds. Maybe they traveled in the backcourt. Maybe they committed a foul resulting in a throw-in.

Good defense would result in a steal or offensive foul. Adequate defense could result in a ball deflected out of bounds.
