Why do you not think it's the same? It's a violation of 9-10-1b. The case plays can't cover every possible play (as someone once said, "It's a finite number of words to cover an infinite number of possibilities.")

I suspect that the coach designed his play to exploit the wording of the rule. That's why he had 2 players passing the ball back and forth behind screening teammates. Strictly speaking, you did not have "a" player control the ball for 5 seconds behind screening teammates. Strictly speaking, the team did not violate 9-10-1b.

I think that the spirit of the rule is clearly violated by this play, and I would probably call a violation. From the case plays, situation (a) illustrates the spirit of the rule (that situation also does not strictly conform to the rule as written).
