Q from a 1st year: Control?

Team B is in the bonus. In frontcourt, B1 passes to B2. A2 (in deny stance) steps in and bats ball towards his own basket. Before A2 touches the ball again, B2 grabs A2 from behind (as you might to prevent a layup).
I call a hold on B2, awarding A2 with a one-and-one. My thought was that this kid had made a controlling action by batting the ball. I don't know that I could define it as "initiating a dribble" or not, but he made a controlled 'batting' of the ball to an open part of the court. Control, or no?
