On pg 73 of the rulebook #1 it says that while a ball remains live, a loose ball is always in control of a team whose player last had control. #2 states there is no player or team control on the throw-in.

If the ball is live, it must be in control of a team according to the fundamental rules stated. The new rule about the throw in ending on a legal touch may be good but it created a new problem about control and possession. I don't think #99 should be over and back, but according to the new rules it is
Is the ball dead during a try, after it has left the hands of the shooter? Is it in control of any team?

I don't like NF rule (no control during throw-ins), but it is a rule: there are some more live ball periods when it is not in control of any team. What's the problem?
