While acknowledging that Cecil was kidding around, I defend his comment based on two things:

1. The OP never said the ball struck the backstop, and
2. Therefore, until it "settles", it is possible (in a TWP sort of way) for the ball to spin back into fair territory without being touched.

And, the OP did not say anything about crossing the fair/foul line
