Can someone please explain the difference between a player control foul and a team control foul? What are the penalties for each?

Under NFHS, NCAA, and FIBA rules, a player control foul is a personal foul that is a common foul that is committed by a player in control of the ball.
Under NCAA and FIBA rules, a team control foul is a personal foul that is a common foul that is committed by any player of the team in control of the ball. A player control foul is a team control foul.
There is no such animal as a team control foul under NFHS rules.
The penalty for player control foul under NFHS rules is that same as a team control under NCAA and FIBA rules. The player that committed the foul is charged with the foul and the offended team receives the ball for a throw-in nearest the spot of the foul.
FIBA has had the team control definition in its rules for well over thirty years. Until the late 1970's the NBCUSC (the fore-father of the NFHS and NCAA rules committees) had the team control rule, but then dropped it until the NCAA returned it to the rule book.
