Maybe we can get the interp changed to read the exception is for the 1st player (Team A member or Team B member) that securs control of the ball. Thus the deflection only directs the clock to start.

As BktBallRef points out, the exception is already in the rule for a defensive player. How is B1, during a throwin for A, not a defensive player? The interp doesn't really fit the rule. So some of us have to choose between enforcing the rule as we read it or enforcing it based on the interp.

And before we get all that excited about the interp, let's remember the other backcourt interp that we all so love and admire.
