Big Joe, there's your statement again. If a player
catches a blocked shot, the ball must have left the shooter's hands and then been blocked back into them.If the player comes down with the ball now, it isn't travelling. If the ball didn't leave the shooter's hands, you have a held ball if the shooter comes down with it. You said it was travelling instead. In both scenarios, you were wrong.
Btw, none of the caseplays in 4.43.3 apply to this play. If you're referring to 4.433c or d, those aren't applicable because the ball was just touched,
not blocked, in them.
