If the ball is in the umpire's control, the ball is dead.

True in FED, not in OBR.
FED 5-1-1h "... the umpire handles a live ball"
OBR 5.10(e) "... an umpire calls "time" ... when the umpire wishes to handle the ball"
(I think the NCAA rule is the same as OBR.)
Every once in a while, you'll see something strange happen in a MLB game when the umpire handles the ball w/out calling "Time." For the next several games, you'll see the umpires being very obvious about calling "Time" before tehy handle the ball.

Yes, and "time" is automatic. Would you handle the ball, and let it remain "live"? And, why would the ball be "live" if an umpire handles the ball, even without "time" being called. It's implied.
