4-12-1 . . . A player is in control of the ball when he/she is
holding or dribbling a live ball inbounds.
Sorry, but if you don't consider the toss to be a dribble, then the action doesn't meet the definiton of player control.
If you do consider the toss to be a dribble, then there is player control, but a player cannot travel during a dribble!
Seems that your position is untenable.
