Bottom line: I let the English word 'control' leak into BBall rule about 'control'
Back in the day, Celtics are playing. Someone drives the lane, but Russell swats the ball out towards Satch Sanders. Russell's 'controlled' rejection toward a teammate was common.
In the play I described, our denying defender clearly 'controlled' the ball (in the Bill Russell sense), but did not 'control' the ball in the rule book sense.
Word.
