team control foul

Not really, a team can easily be on offense without team control. During a throw-in, when a shot goes up.

I agree that Team A, while in possession of the ball for a throw-in, is the offensive team: 1) Under NFHS rules a contact foul by a Team player is during the throw-in is a personal foul that is either a common foul, an intentional foul, or a flagrant foul; and 2) Under NCAA the common foul is a team control foul. But in either case it is not an offensive foul because no such animal exists in NFHS and NCAA rules. One will not find a definition for an offensive foul in either rule book, nor will one find a definition for an offensive foul in the FIBA rules for the same reason. One will only find a definition for an offensive foul in the NBA and WNBA rules.

As far as NFHS, NCAA, and FIBA rules are concerened, offenesive fouls are like centrifugal forces are to circular motion in physics, and statics and dynamics. There is no such animal.
