Who gets the ball?

Team control has nothing to do with an OOB situation.

You may want to review Rule 4-12 Control, Player and Team (Page 30, NFHS) and section 15 Dribble(Page 31, NFHS).

Good idea ...

A team is in control when .... yep, we have that.

Team contro continues until .... nope, none of that happened, so A is still in control.

Based on what you have stated, I believe most officials will rule this is a "loose ball." Therefore, the AP arrow should be used to determine who is awarded the possession.

There's no such thing as a "loose ball" in FED. We did have an "accidental whistle" as in 7.5.4 AAward the ball to the team in control -- that's still A.
