I'm having trouble envisioning the play, but if B gained control, the clock would be reset, and if A regained control, the clock would again be reset.

If B never gained control, the clock wouldn't have been reset and it would be a violation on A.

B gained momentary control when the ball landed in their hands the same time that A got it back

[Hawks Coach]

B would have to clearly establish control - any momentary "looked like they had it" with respect to defense is no control IMO. A retains control until B demonstrates otherwise. Not having seen it, it doesn't sound like control, but you saw it, so you need to judge.

If B clearly had control, then team control shifts momentarily to B and shot clock resets.

This must have been a doozy of a goofy play if you needed that horrible of a run-on sentence to explain it!

If it was hard to call, it should be hard to write.
