Team Control?

Oops....yes, that is what I meant...it is edited.....

So during a FT, the player is holding a live ball inbounds, correct? That is where it gets a little fuzzy.....

It's not really fuzzy. You might be confusing a stopped clock with a dead ball. The ball becomes live once it's at the disposal of the shooter. 99% of the time, that's when he catches the bounce from the lead official. So, he's holding the ball. The ball is live. The ball is in bounds. 1+1+1=Team Control.

Right after I posted, I found an NCAA case play that is pretty much spot on...

Before a free throw by A1 is in flight, A2 pushes B2, then A3
steps into the free throw lane too soon. The bonus is in effect
for both teams.
RULING: The foul by A2, which created a false double foul, is a
team-control foul and causes the ball to become dead immediately.
Consequently, A3’s violation shall be ignored. A1 shall attempt the
free throw(s) with no players on the lane and when the last try is
successful, Team B shall have the privilege to run the endline. When
the last try is unsuccessful, play shall be resumed by awarding Team
B the ball for a throw-in at a designated spot closest to where the
team-control foul occurred.
(Rule 4-29.4 and 8-6.1)

Not something I've seen too often.....since the ball is generally released before the foul is called, therefore no team control......

Thanks!
