Could Be Better Worded ...

Nitpicking, but I see billyu2's point. Could be better worded.
Yes, we can only grant during a dead ball, or when one team has player control, but in this context I believe that they mean to be sure that the head coach (and only the head coach) that is requesting is the team "in control" (by virtue of having player control) and not the head coach of the team that does not have his team "in control".
"Team control" is probably a "lazy" version of "Team control by virtue of having player control" rather than the well defined NFHS definition of "team control".
Bottom line: We look (or listen) to the bench for "head" coach and team "in control"; and look to the players for player control; before granting.
