Throw in in FC by team A. B1 jumps over A2 and touches the ball but can not secure the ball, he slaps it and hits A2 in the front of the jersey and rolls into BC. A2 runs into BC and gets the ball. I have BC.

At half time, partner says since no one had control, there was no BC, I understand that, but B1 touched the ball and knocked it off A2 into the BC. I have 2 people in FC touching the ball, I have FC status for the ball. looking at case book 9.9.1D is the closest thing I have.

Thoughts?

Remove B1 touching the ball from the situation. We're left with A2 touching the ball in the FC. We know that this is not a violation because A2 didn't secure possession.

Now re-add B1 touching the ball. It would be highly inconsistent, not to mention unfair, that a touch by B (especially an unsuccessful attempt to secure control) would affect the restrictions placed upon A to complete the throw-in. This logic doesn't need to consider the poor wording of the Fed.

Except that is exactly what they've done if A were to catch the ball coming from a throwin while airborne having jumped from the frontcourt after it is tipped by B.
