Is A1 considered to have control of the ball when both feet are on the division line?

The correct choice states that A1 does not have control of the ball when both feet are touching the division line. In basketball, ball control is essential for the offense, and control is typically established when a player has the ball in their possession and is in a position to make a play.

When a player is on the division line with both feet, they are often in a neutral position, representing a scenario where neither team has clear possession of the ball. Control is characterized by a player holding the ball, dribbling, or being in a position to make a pass or shoot. Since the question implies that A1 is on the division line and doesn't indicate that A1 has possession, it reinforces that A1 cannot be said to have control in that situation. Control is clearly defined by the possession of the ball, and if A1 does not have the ball (which the wording suggests), then A1 does not have control.
