Team Control Player Control Difference ...

Bingo.

It was definitely much more than a dozen years ago when we stopped (NFHS) shooting bonus free throws (down on the other end of the court) for "charges" in which the ball had already been released (where the basket could actually count if the ball went in the basket).

It was way back in ancient times, possibly thirty-plus, maybe thirty-five-plus, years ago, way back in the Holocene geological epoch.

Bottom line: All player control fouls are not necessarily also team control fouls.

Give me an example when a PCF is not TCF?

Isn't that redundant?

Can you give an example of an Airborne Shooter who has not released the ball? (Hint: The answer is "no".)

A ball handler becomes airborne (ball comes to rest in the player’s hands) and starts his continuous trying motion. The trying motion includes arm, foot or body movements used by the player when throwing the ball at his basket. All of this before the ball is released on a try. The player becomes an airborne shooter when both feet have left the floor and are off the ground.

Maybe he didn't release the ball because an opponent "clamped down" on his wrist?

Maybe he quite doesn't fit the official definition (ball released) of a NFHS "airborne shooter", but he certainly is airborne, and he certainly is in the act of shooting, thus he's a generic airborne shooter.

He's a shooter, and he's airborne, but he's not an airborne shooter.

4-1-1:An airborne shooter is a player who has released the ball on a try for a goal or has tapped the ball and has not returned to the floor.

Let's just say that he is a shooter that's airborne.

Of course that rule changed several years ago. College even changed it.

No more counting a goal and then going to the opposite end for bonus FTs.

Best not to confuse the rookies with this though.

It was once that way, but the progression, I believe, was slightly different.

Early on....it was as you said, the shot would count if released prior to contact. Yes TCFs prevented a score, but the offended team got FTs if in the bonus.

At some point, the PCF was changes to not shoot FTs regardless of the timing of the foul relative to the release. TCF's were still subject to FTs if in the bonus.

Later, the TCF was changed to match the PCF (no FTs).
