Thanks Rocky Road,
My understanding is that Team Control is there while the person who is throwing the ball has the ball in his hands but ends once it leaves his hands hence the exception as to why the ball can go in the backcourt.

Not correct but sorta close to last years interp, which stated the throw-in ended when the ball is touched on court. If the TI was touched (not controlled) on court then there was a period of time when there was no team control, and that lasted until a player took control of the ball (make sense so far?). This year's interp states the throw-in does not end until it's controlled by a player on the court, eliminating that tme when there was no team control on the TI.
