Player control is one way to establish team control, but not a must. Your can have team control with out player control as in the case of pass or interrupted dribble.

Great reply except you're completely wrong.

Player control is the only way to establish team control. It sureasheck is a "must". You can't have team control without first having player control.

In the case of a pass or interrupted dribble, player control was established before the pass or interrupted dribble. [/B][/QUOTE]

Thanks for correcting my ill advised use of the word "establish." However I am not "completely" wrong. My point is, you do not have to have player control to have team control. During a pass or an interrupted dribble, you do not have player control, but team control is maintained.

You are correct in that you must have player control to establish team control.
