Team Control Player Control Difference ...

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).
