It all comes down to the concept of control, Hawkeye. That is, team and/or player control. The best way to look at this is to understand the concept of control:

Team control BEGINS when a player holds or dribbles a live ball inbounds, or secures a jump ball with at least one foot on the floor. Obviously, player control exists when a player has control.

Player/team control ENDS when the ball is released on a try/tap for goal, an opponent controls the ball, or the ball is dead. If the ball is loose, team control still exists (obviously by the last team that controlled it), unless there was a try for goal.

And yes, whenever there is a player control or team control foul, there are no free throws. If the non-controlling team fouls, or there's no team control at all, free throws can happen.
