“The whole time Tate’s right arm is swinging around, attempting to get hold of the ball, Jennings has already secured the ball with *both* hands. “

And that doesn’t mean jack until both of his feet touch the ground. I portend that by that time, Tate had bought his right arm in, secured the ball, and had both feet and maybe his rear end hit the ground.

Actually in this feet don’t matter. The rule is about control (hands) not possession (feet). Jennings had two hands on the ball (control) when Tate had no hands on the ball, Tate eventually got hands on the ball, but Jennings was first and the rule directly states if one player has control before another player gets joint control the joint control doesn’t matter, possession goes to the first player with control.
