A few years ago, ASA removed the word "another" and added "any" defensive player in 8.7.J.4 (deflected ball).

Though the "intent" is still noted in this rule, I think the change in wording gives the umpire a little latitude in determining INT or not without being locked into a predetermined parameters.
