While A-1 is dribbling, if the ball is batted away and remains loose, does team control still remain with team A?

When A-1 is dribbling and the ball is batted away, team control remains with team A as long as the ball is still loose and has not been recovered by the opposing team. Team control is defined as the team in possession of the ball, and it encompasses situations where a player is actively dribbling or holding the ball. Even though the ball is momentarily out of A-1's control after being batted, team control is not lost until the opposing team gains possession of the ball. Thus, team A maintains its control until an opponent, such as B-1, gains possession of the ball or if team A's player retrieves it. This is crucial during gameplay as it impacts foul calls, violations, and the ability to continue offensive plays until team control is officially relinquished.
