I get what you're saying, but I'd just be careful with the "there's no team control" part here. There absolutely is when it's touched in bounds. In my experience, simplifying that play to its bare minimums makes it easiest to explain and understand. Saying "there has to be player control in the frontcourt" is accurate. Saying "there has to be player and team control in the frontcourt" is accurate, but the "team control" part is superfluous. And/because there absolutely is team control on a throw-in touched/tapped by anyone on the playing court, regardless of whether or not they've controlled it, per se.
