I disagree.

It's true that the throw-in has ended - and yes, there's no team control during a throw-in. However, just because the throw-in has ended doesn't mean team control has been re-established.

Therefore, in your post, when did Team A establish team control?

Check out post #6 for references as to when a team re-establishes team control.
