The ball has status of FC or BC.
Team control continues once it's been established.
Once team control has been established, and the ball gains FC status, there is now team control in the FC.
There is no requirement for Player control to be established in the FC.
Otherwise, a pass from A1 (in the BC) to A2 (in the FC) that is never caught by A2 but instead gets muffed back to A1 would not be a violation. But it is.
