And I acted on that interpretation as IAABO is synonymous with officiating in VT. I have not heard anything official one way or the other since I moved.
4-12-1 A player is in control of the ball when he/she is holding or dribbling a live ball. There is no player control when during a jump ball, a jumper catches the ball prior to the ball touching the floor or a non-jumper, or during an interrupted dribble.
4-12-4 While the ball remains live, a loose ball always remains in control of the team whose player last had control, unless it is a try or tap for goal.
It appears that a ball being pinned is like a platypus.
