For the umpteenth time
, during a period of no team control (such as during a try), team control is subsequently established when a player gains player control. Player control is defined as holding or dribbling a live ball inbounds. A bat is not a hold or a dribble. Sometimes, someone on the board will ask about a "controlled tap or bat". This comes under your judgement as to whether the player actually held the ball or not. Usually, the answer is "not."
