Another backcourt violation question

The issue: is team B granted the exception in 9-9-3 for defensive players during Team A's throw-in?

No backcourt violation, IMO, but there has been some disconcertion among the ranks on this issue as there was no team control before the ball was controlled by B2.

I'd rather they simply make this a blanket exception applying to any situation where a player initiates team control while in the air. Then it would apply to rebounds as well, which it currently does not.

Both are back court violations. The original post is a case book play.
This play and similar case plays were clairified as NFHS and IAABO interps for the 2007-2008 season.
The reason I know, is that I posted these questions on this board Nov. 2006. The questions generated a large amounts of replys. Basically a 50/50 split on violation vs. non-violation. Someone on this board brought the questions to NFHS and they responded and posted them in the interp section.

Isn't that a violation?
