That might be your definition of possession but it ain't the rule book's definition of possession. You also have to define between player and team possession. You can pass or shoot the ball by "tipping" it, and the act of "tipping" is not player possession. You can also have an interrupted dribble without player possession. Player possession is a player actually either holding or dribbling the ball.

JR, you're describing
control which is not entire the same as
possession.
A ball which is team control is also in their possession but a team can have possession without team control...during a throwin, during the dead ball which precedes a throwin.
