All that means is that team control doesn't end on an interrupted dribble/loose ball after team control has been established. There is no team control until there is player control.

I am glad you pointed it out, however, as this "Fundamental" is poorly written considering that "loose balls" after throw-ins, jump balls, and tries/taps still have no team control until some player establishes player control.
