I would agree that it's not controlled, you are just bumping it, there's no telling where it will bounce. Of course I'm biased because knocking off a ball and then hurdling in the last ten seconds is just too cool.
Edit: Another thing, isn't it a penalty for herding the opposing alliance's trackball, or is it just possessing? If it is a penalty then that would mean that knocking the ball off even if you aren't possessing one of your own wouldn't be allowed, which is clearly not the intention of the rules, knocking balls off at the end is sort of key.
