A held ball is called, in a sense, because both teams have control.

Yes but when both ARE holding the ball...

No control, no TO.
The rule is addressing control of the ball, not team or player control.

Team A has player/team control and can request a timeout prior to a held ball being declared.

So team a has team and player control BUT B does not.
