No, I talked to him and he said the freethrow shooter established "Team Possession" and he agreed with me whan I said it was a loose ball.

No such thing as a "loose ball," although I know what you mean here. The terminology is for other rule sets, not NFHS.

As described, he was just wrong. There is no TC on a try, and it does not get re-established until a player is either holding or dribbling the ball.

True, but not applicable to the situation.

Well the free throw shooter did have player control, and thus his team had team control, but all that was lost when the free throw was shot.

Was he wearing a belt?

The other night I worked a JUCO game where the home team shuts off the lights and puts a spotlight on their players during introductions to get all 14 fans in the crowd all fired up. As soon as the lights went off, I went to one of my partners and asked if this is how the game looked to him all the time.
