It sounds like this would be ruled a turnover? And if so, making this one of the 3 worst rule changes in basketball history?

In your example possession changed from UD to VCU to UD...in the original example UD had possession the entire time, but team control changed when it was tipped by VCU and then tipped again by UD.
Personally, I don't have to like the new interpretation...I just have to enforce it.
