I think this is worth a QA, but I bet the answer will be unhelpful.
Or you could just read the blue box immediately below that rule, which specifically calls out "deflecting" as NOT counting as POSSESSION (which makes sense, since I can deflect my opponents BALL without causing myself a PENALTY for POSSESSING their BALL).

Since deflection doesn't count as POSSESSION, bouncing a BALL off an ALLIANCE member does not count as them POSSESSING the BALL
