Another change to the backcourt rule

That's a violation because the exception only applies to the first guy to get to the ball. Right?

It was because the deflection by B1 ended the throw-in and thus the throw-in exception no longer applied to A2.

I remember a long discussion on this prior to the previous clarification. One side insisted the parenthetical examples were exhaustive, the other took the opposite opinion. After the clarification, it seemed obvious the exception only applied to the provided examples. Otherwise, the teams not in control would have extended after a tipped throw in pass.
