Player control is defined as a player "holding or dribbling the ball"
Easy one, put it in your bag of tricks, but near the top as so many things we are called on to judge are predicated on player control. Same for team control. Know when it starts and what circumstances cause it to end.
Memorize the 20 Rules fundamentals found on page 70 something!
