In my interpretation - until officially taught otherwise - that would be one possession, not two. So one foul, not two.

Seems to provide a powerful deterrent to an open-topped passive catching design.
Which is what the rules warned against since day 1 - beware designs that allow you to possess an opponent's ball.

Without the revision, every time you touched an opponent's ball and redirected it, it would be a foul. Can we say hundreds of foul points?
