No, it's not possible for one alliance to control all of the balls, even if one alliance is really terrible. An alliance that plays the hoarding game can hold on to a large majority of the balls, but only by not scoring while allowing opponents to score and thus digging themselves a hole. An alliance whose opponents have pathetic accuracy can hold on to a large majority of the balls, but do you really want to plan your strategy around your opponents being inaccurate?
