When I am driving in my car and I have to brake for something, I always use the clutch first and then brake. From what I hear, you then have no control over your car, why is that? And why is that not the case when you first brake and then use the clutch when rpm is low enough.

Perhaps you mean the lack of engine breaking, so wheels can freely change speed resulting in a skid?
I think with modern cars/instructors they tell you not to press the clutch in when breaking (only to change gear or prevent stalling just before you stop).
With an emergency stop you obviously want to push the clutch down as you want to stop moving entirely.
Disclaimer: I find myself coasting more than I should, just because of how I was taught and the habits I developed.
