I am going to play devil's advocate here. By strict rule definition there is no team control in the initial play. Team A was throwing it in and ball was released when whistle blew. POI specifically states the throwin to team in control when stoppage ocuured and AP throw in when point of interruption is such that neither team is in control...
If a foul ocuured while ball was in the air, you would not have a team control foul but a common foul and if in bonus it would be 1+1...
So If there is no team control, why by rule would you put this in play with POI? BecauseSection b clearly states however that play resumes by a throw-in if stoppage occurred during this activity....
Lets look at the technical absuridity of this rule...
Original play ball is not touched we have IW and we give the ball back to Team A because the IW occurred during the throw-in..
Modify the play... Team B barely brushes the ball ball on the throw-in as it is being passed in bounds from A1 to A2. Throw-in is now over. There is no team control, there is no throw-in, now by rule we have to go to the arrow.
This is where I think the rules need to change. My editorial comment.... I think it is stupid that player A is standing out of bounds holding the ball and we say that the team is not in control because we worry about writing some sort of exception in the book so that we dont have BC or a three second call, or some other infaction tied to team control on a throw-in.
