4-12-1 CONTROL, PLAYER AND TEAM . . . A player is in control of the ball when he/she is holding or dribbling a live ball.
4-25-1 HELD BALL . . . A held ball occurs when: . . . Opponents have their hands so formly on the ball that control cannot be obtained without undue roughness.
All other statements in the Rules Book, that I have found, refer to "player control" in the singular. The statement in 4-25-1 agrees, in that although the "opponents have their hands (so) firmly on the ball" . . . control cannot be obtained . . .
I have found no reference of "simultaneous control".
The conclusion is that in such cases, as previously mentioned, neither player nor their opponent has control, it is simply a "held ball."
