My point was that if you want to understand when to call a team-control foul, then you had better know exactly what comprises "team control". To do so, you learn rule 4-12. If you know rule 4-12, then rule 4-19-7 is easily applied. Iow, if you do understand what team-control is, then you know when to differentiate between a team-control foul and a foul with no team control present.
The FED told you exactly how to differentiate the 2 cases when they wrote rule 4-12.

Fair enough, though my response that you quoted was not how to differentiate when it should be called according to the rules as they stand. I understand team control as it is defined in the rule book. What I was responding to was the question by another poster regarding how the rule might be changed to allow a "loose-ball" foul that would be an exception to team control and allow free throws.
I guess my mistake was assuming that others understood the context in which I posted that. Apparently I need to communicate more clearly...damn message boards!
