Any references to clarify would be great!

What you have inquired about was the old way. The rule was changed back in 2002-03.
You can see that there is now an exception for this specific situation in the player control rule 4-12-1.
So the jumper DOES NOT establish control by catching the ball. It is merely a violation, and the opponent is awarded a throw-in, but the violating team will get the arrow when the ball is placed at the disposal of the thrower from the opposing team.
