That is
not really an obscure call though. You're talking about a definition that is relevant to several different situations, not just the opening jump ball. This rules concept comes up during rebounding, saving balls from going OOB, etc., as I listed before. You have to know what player control is, and how it applies to the different situations. See rule 4-15-4NOTE2. That says that there is no player control when a player is slapping the ball during a jump, or batting a rebound or pass away from another player. .
Don't drink the Kool-Aid from the old non-official that is posting in this thread. You would be very wise to completely disregard everything that he says.
