2. It is not used very much.
3. It is not the same as the NBA "loose-ball foul" mechanic.
If I understand it correctly, can someone explain why FED decided to use this signal? It is not logical.
If someone can find a discussion of this mechanic, and its use from FED last year, drop me a url, will you please?
Thanks!

Here is the thread in which we first started discussing the new mechanic last year:
Team Control Signal?
The rule itself came into the NFHS game two seasons ago. Here is the Comment on that rule change from 2005-06:
THROW-IN AWARDED TO OPPONENT FOR ALL TEAM-CONTROL FOULS (7-5-5, 4-19-7): A new definition for a team-control foul has been established, and the penalty has been changed to a throw-in in all cases. The ball will be awarded to the offended team at a spot nearest to where the foul occurred. Bonus free throws will no longer be awarded. The change makes enforcement of the rule easier for officials. Under the previous rule it was sometimes difficult to determine whether: (a) a player in control had released the ball on a pass or interrupted dribble before the player charges; and (b) a player had received a pass before the player charges. The change makes the penalty consistent for a player-control foul and a team-control foul. In addition, the change reduces delays in the game. The rule only applies when a foul occurs by the team in control. By rule, there is no team control during a throw-in, jump ball or when the ball is in flight during a try or tap for goal.
