What I need is a few casebook plays from the NFHS. After that I can either feel good about my abilities of reasoning and logic; or I can go down in flames, and if that's the case, it won't be pretty,...

I'm not struggling at all. I am confident in my assessment of the new rule language, and I can support my view with 100% factual evidence.
Agree. See my quote above.

"Deflected by the defense in the FC" sounds slightly close to the NCAA backcourt rule. In other words, once the defense deflects the ball in the frontcourt (I like to describe it as the ball pin...

Wrong. The NFHS exception states, "deflected from the frontcourt by the defense", not "deflected by the defense in the FC".

The rulebook isn't going to help unless the rule language is very different from the language that's already been released by the NFHS.
