Backcourt on "controlled tap"?

That could be it. I missed that wording.

It was pointed out.

Team B did indeed control in their BC after the steal. Partners and I disagreed over the violation being called based on the fact that Team B did not actually catch, hence "control" in the FC. I ruled violation based on the ball being "pushed" to a teammate from the BC to the FC.
Thanks for the input.

Sounds like a violation then...it was unclear in the OP whether the steal was merely deflection or a catch. Since you're saying it was a catch, the manner in which the ball then moved around is irrelevant....only who touched it in which part of the court and in which order.
