When OSU tips the ball out of Hannah's hands into the backcourt and Hannah runs after to grab it, it looks like he called a touch, but then whistles her for over-n-back.

Or is my family all having the same hallucination?

Yes, that was bizarre.  I saw the other girl tip the pass.  It might have touched Hannah after it was tipped and before it passed over the center court line.  Does that make it a back court violation?

There are conflicting rules (Rule 9, Section 12) for a similar situation but not for this one.  I checked the Case Book but it doesn't adjudicate this ambiguity.

Art. 4. A player shall not be the first to touch the ball in their backcourt (with
any part of their body, voluntarily or involuntarily) when the ball came from
the frontcourt while that player’s team was in team control and that player or
their teammate was the last to touch the ball before it went into the backcourt.
Art. 5. A pass in the frontcourt that is deflected by a defensive player so that the
ball goes into the backcourt may be recovered by either team.

If the ball was deflected by a defensive player during a pass, and the deflection went off Jump, the situation would be covered by both 9-12.4 and 9-12.5.   However, an attempted steal is not covered by 9-12.5.

In this case, 9-12.4 applies since the ball brushed Jump's forearm while in the front court just before going into the backcourt. It is a backcourt violation.

This reminded me of a play in the play in the Cal game that I meant to ask about.  It was the Cam hustle play to keep the ball from going out of bounds. She tipped it from the front court to Hannah in the back court but it wasn't called an over and back.  Stanford had possession the entire time.  The announcers were busy talking about the hustle play but Charmin Smith was in the ref's ear.  Right after that Cam was clearly fouled and lost possession but there was no call by the ref.  I was wondering if that was a make-up call.  Does anybody else remember that sequence?  

Cheers,
