My feeling on this is don't penalize a good defensive play, Call the jump ball and go to the arrow. As far as releasing it, if she is smart enough and doesn't commit the traveling violation, then it's nothing, play on

Hmmm, if the shooter's feet never left the ground then it's
going to take a lot more than a capped ball for me to
blow the whistle for a held ball.

So, if a player takes a set shot and the defender gets a hand on it and doesn't allow the ball to be released, what do you have? That's a held/jump ball in MHO.

Not in my opinion. What I have depends on what happens next.
I believe the rules are clear that a held ball should be
called only when both players have control and it's clear
neither player will gain sole control, except in the case of
an airborne shooter when the defender only has to prevent
release. No airborne shooter then the defender needs to not
only cap the ball, he has to grab it & not let go.

I agree with all you say but, for discussion purposes only, is not an airborne shooter considered in the act of shooting? And is a set shot in the act of shooting? I see this as the same thing, this happens on the girls level all the time, I don't remember ever seeing it at the boys level. What do you think?

An airborne shooter is treated differently under the
rules than someone shooting from the set. One way
of protecting the airborne shooter is by letting us
call the capped ball play a held ball, otherwise it's
a travel (and it could be a travel or double dribble in some
cases if you look at the case book on this). A player
shooting from the set is not protected in this way. BTW,
one thing that girls often do is to only rise up on their
tip-toes on a shot, or only raise 1 foot off the floor on a
shot. Players who do either are not airborne shooters.
