Sigh --
TEAM control is different from PLAYER control.
Player control exists when a player is holding or dribbling the ball.
Team control starts when player control starts, and continues until, umm, there's a violation, foul, shot or the other team gains player control (I hope that's at least close to correct -- I'm doing it from memory).
So, in the play we have, A1 has player control, thus A has team control. Now, A1 loses the ball -- there's no player control, but team A still has team control.
When (if) the (inadvertant) whistle blows, the ball goes back to the team with team control -- that's A.
