Read the rule. "...the team not in control..." The rule says nothing about team control. On a throw-in, the thrower has control of the ball. The statement in the rule book has nothing to do with team or player control at this point. If I'm the thrower, I have control. If you are my opponent, you are a defender.

If a teammate committed a foul before the throw-in ended, would you really call that foul a team control foul?
We're not talking about team control. We are talking about one team being in control, thus making a player on the other team a defender.
