I believe rainmaker cited the case book source of batting the ball over a defender's head, than touching it again before it hit the floor. Caveat Emptor; I am not very familiar with NCAA.

I don't think so. "Control" isn't the issue. "Player Control" as defined in the rulebook is the issue. "Holding or ddribbling the ball." In tapping the ball he can use as much control as he wants as long as he doesn't "Hold" (think volleyball.) Once he establishes Player Control the rules change a little. Now touching with or without holding becomes an issue.
