I am trying to answer some of these, but do not claim to be as expert as some of you. As I read 4-12-1, it appears that player control has been established (if one assumes that during all of this tugging back and forth at least one player is holding the ball). The exception to team control for a jump ball situation in 4-12-5 should not apply and it does not appear that there is an exception for two players on the same team holding the ball.
If it is two players on opposite teams tugging at the ball, I believe that it is AP arrow because the simultaneous possession comes into play before the traveling could have occurred. Is that correct?
