I believe that team control is lost when a deflection by B-1 causes A-1 to return to the backcourt to recover it. once recovered by A-1, then Team A REGAINS Team Control and at that time, a new 10-second count will begin.
Team control is a very clearly defined element of the rules. A team remains in control until 1 of 3 things happens.
1) The ball is release on a try
2) The ball becomes dead
3) The opponent gains control
No matter where a bat goes (inbounds), team control continues until one of these three specific things happens.
