But, if the ball went in, you'd award it to B -- even though there was no team control when the T was committed.

Can you clarify why ball would go to B in this instance? Would there not still be no team control regardless if the ball went in or not?

JLK,
Look at it this way: If the foul was not called, who would have the ball?

That's a good explanation, Mick, but it doesn't always hold true.
Play: Shot in the air, shot clock horn sounds, official blows whistle. Shot: (a) is good; (b) hits the rim and bounces off; (c) misses everything.
Ruling: (a) Count the basket, award the ball to B to run the end-line. (b) Go to the arrow. (c) Go to the arrow.
Huh? Who can explain C? Using Mick's logic (with which I agree) we'd give the ball to B becuase that's who'd have the ball had there been no inadvertant whistle.
So, to answer JLK, all I can say is "because that's the way 'they' want it."
