Tony, I agree with your ruling. I just find it interesting that you now concur that there is team control while the FT shooter is holding or dribbling the ball prior to the release of the try. IIrc you weren't so sure of this a few months back.

No, I wasn't sure. And what did I say in that thread? "...we'll just have to wait and see what they publish."

Evenso, 4-12 doesn't specifically address FTs. But all the interps I've seen at clinics say that you treated FTs as a team control situation.
Well, imo the interps are correct. The definition of team control hasn't changed at all. A player is holding or dribbling a live ball inbounds during a FT prior to the release. That equals player control and player control = team control, other than an airborne shooter.

The important thing is that you are sure today!
