Pay close attention.
What you wrote above is
NOT and
NEVER has been a violation.
Read your rulebook. Specifically read NFHS rule 9-9-1. Then find somebody to explain it to you. Ask them if they can find anywhere in your statement where team control had been established in the frontcourt. Ask them to explain to you that merely
"touching" a ball does
NOT establish player/team control.
You're trying to apply principles from rule 9-9-3 that just aren't applicable. Why aren't they applicable? Pay close attention. Because in 9-9-3 and the irrelevant case book play that you cited, team control
WAS established in the frontcourt.
Lah me........
