Team Control?

As M&M Guy states above, someone on team A would have to have established player control for there to be team control. Player control is defined as "holding or dribbling a live ball inbounds". If the "tap" came to rest in the player's hand, it could be argued he was "holding" the ball, but if it did not come to rest, then he was not "holding" it, therefore no player control, therefore no team control. Apparently, the officials felt it was just a tap, controlled or not.

BTW - did you hear about the blonde who was fired from the quality control department at the M&M factory for throwing out all the W's?

Why was she fired? I got a bag of some of those defective candies the other day.

No. Can you tell me about it? Was her name Cricket?

During a throwin, even under a team’s own basket, if the throwin is deflected, tipped, or batted by an offensive player in the frontcourt to an offensive player in the backcourt; or after a missed field goal attempt or a missed foul shot attempt, if the ball is deflected, tipped, or batted by an offensive player in the frontcourt to an offensive player in the backcourt; these are not a backcourt violations. In both cases team control, a player holding or dribbling the ball, has not yet been established.
