Control is not instantaneous. For all you know, the player might muff the catch. Conrol is grabbing it and holding onto it. How Long does that take? I don't know, exactly. But I do know that it is not instantaneous.

To catch the ball long enough to demonstrate control will take some non-zero amount of time.

The problem in this case is one official starting time and a different one stopping time....each with different reflex speeds.
