Still not quite clear.
If you would have granted the TO before "he fell on top of it" then he had control and it's a violation.
If you would have granted the TO only after "he fell on top of it" then he didn't have control until then and it's not a violation.
I don't know that NFHS (or anyone else) has said whether pinning the ball to the floor is sufficient to start control.
