That said, I see that 9-9-3 would need tweaking, as there's a reference to no team control on a throw-in.

If team control exists (and it will starting with the throwin) and the ball touches in the FC/BC, team control will exist in the FC/BC. Team control doesn't require that a player be holding the ball at the moment. Team control, once it starts, persists until their is a try, a dead ball, or the other team gains control.
The NCAA rule has exceptions for these scenarios that effectively state that the BC rules don't apply until there has been player control in either the frontcourt or backcourt.
I think a better overall solution would be to define a new foul to apply during a throwin but not call it team control.
