It is also correct that the general rule is that you reset on any held ball. However, there is an exception for the case in which there is team control and the arrow favors the team in control. I learned that one the hard way -- by getting it wrong on the NCAA test a couple years ago.

The original situation happened in an NCAA game, but the discussion is relevant to HS ball here in WA also...and Chuck, did you have the answers to that NCAA test BEFORE you took it???
