No loss of control, at least one hand on the ball at all times? Yes, called it hundreds of times. Score the goal, one free throw.

Note: I would allow a player (count basket, one free throw) moving the ball from hand to hand in a controlled manner, with the ball momentarily losing contact with both hands, but if the ball pops up into the air, and the player grabs it and shoots a second time, no basket, two free throws.
Aha, so the real question regards the OP. What did the OP mean by "loses it"?
For you BMAC, losing control means no contact with ball by either hand at same time. For me, losing control does not mean that.

Yes, agree.
