You cannot establish team control without having player control. Ball gets tipped on the jump ball there is no player or team control until a player first gets control.
A tip and a pass are two different things. Simply batting a ball does not constitute control. If the ball comes to rest (palming) and the player throws the ball like most would a baseball then that's different. That is not a bat or a tip.
