Doggonit, TH. You caught me again. Man, I hate that
Drake, you noted how team control is established (by holding, dribbling or passing), but Article 3 states that team control continues until :
a. The ball is in flight during a try or tap for goal,
b. An opponent secures control, or
c. The ball becomes dead.
So in our original situation, placing the ball on the floor doesn't fit into any of those categories. So it's still in the control of the team who placed it on the floor. No arrow. Good call, Tony.
