So ball is bouncing back towards the goalkeeper and defenders takes the opportunity whilst the ball is in the air to knee the ball back to the 'keeper rather than allowing it to come to the floor and pass it back.
This is not a backpass, right? As he didn't 'kick' the ball back, he knee'd it. Or would you classify it as trying to circumvent the rule? He didn't flick the ball up into the air to then knee it back, the ball was naturally bouncing from being played over the top.
