One more point about your question. Once team control is established, the team remains in control until:
- The other team gains control
- The ball becomes dead
- The ball is released on a try for goal
The team is still in control when the ball is being held, being dribbled, being passed or even loose.
Your question is more about player control than team control. Chuck spelled out the details regarding player control quite nicely.
I bring it up only because both concepts play a role in correctly calling the 10 violation.
