8 Second Violation?

[Dr. Feelgood]

I just thought about this...Would it be an 8 second back court violation if the following happened.

 

LaMarcus Aldridge inbounds the ball to Brandon Roy from the opposite side of the court (the other team just scored). Roy makes it over half court in plenty of time, he tries to make a pass but it's deflected back into the back court. Does Roy have to make it back over half court in 8 seconds to avoid the violation? Or does the violation not matter since he made it over the first time around? Keep in mind, this is in the same 24 second clock.

if the ball ever enters the back court there is a 8 second time limit to get the ball across

[The Regime]

A team shall not be in continuous possession of a ball which is in its backcourt for more than 8 consecutive seconds.

EXCEPTION (1): A new 8 seconds is awarded if the defense: (1) kicks or punches the ball, (2) is assessed a technical foul, or (3) is issued a delay of game warning.

EXCEPTION (2): A new 8 seconds is awarded if play is suspended to administer Comments on the Rules-N-Infection Control.

PENALTY: Loss of ball. The ball is awarded to the opposing team at the mid-court line.

So yes Roy will have 8 seconds to get the ball across even after the deflection.
