I agree that "muff" as used in case book seems to be a loose way of saying fumble -- essentially an undefined term replacing a defined term. Bad thing to do in the rules. If muff has a distinct meaning, define it. If not, use fumble for consistency.

Perhaps:
Fumble implies having had the ball.
Muff implies touching, but never having had the ball.
