Throw in BC?

Yep. As soon as A1 catches the ball, FC status is obtained at the same time the respective FC and BC become defined.

Now, I recognize the distinction I'm making doesn't really come with a difference. For me, however, it conceptually makes sense when understanding the BC rule.

To Camron's point, the case plays referenced could easily be explained as using the terms for reference in a play that can't be viewed in a case book.
