mbyron, Camron is right. The two are not synonymous. Team possession can be gained without team control. Two examples are the ball becoming at the disposal of a thrower and the ball becoming dead for a held ball with the arrow pointing in the team's favor. Both of those situations confer team possession for correctable error purposes, but lack team control.

Yes, but unfortunately, not all of them are correct, particularly a couple of the most recent rulings.
