Did A1 gain control by forcefully pulling the ball away? Did A1, by forcefully pulling the ball away to gain control, also send B1 to the floor? That's exactly what the first post in this thread said.

Imo, the act met the definition above. It especially met the definition in middle-school ball. ]
I agree. It's a held ball.

Where did it meet the definition of a technical foul?

I'm betting that if you were on the floor, you wouldn't throw a T. But, you've painted yourself into a corner, as many of us so often do.
