The "controlled tip" is just as much a myth as "can't catch your own airball". There's no such thing in the rulebook as a controlled tip (or tap, or bat). To have control, a player must be holding or dribbling a live ball inbounds. That's it, that's the only way to have player control.

So unless the jumper caught the ball before throwing OOB (which would've been a violation before the ball ever got OOB), the jumper's team should've gotten the arrow.
