Shot priority or AF priority?

I imagine the camera figured it was close enough when you clicked the shutter.  The owner wanting the shot to happen when he clicked (for sport moments) versus when the camera had perfect focus.

Servo's problem for me is it driving way off when the focus point is accidentally waved over the background.  It then having to drive all the way back when the subject is back in the AF box.  It not having enough time in a sports moment (ball catch) to get back to the right focus.

Back button focus means Servo is only driving when back button is held?
