Not the same.
Team control ends under NBA rules when the defender knocks the ball away.
So the play you describe was not a violation in the NBA.
However, it would have been a violation at the NFHS and NCAA levels.
I believe that people watching NBA games on TV and seeing this action not penalized get upset and cause a problem when it is whistled against Johnny in a HS game.
