In the play described, the player got the pass off before returning to the floor. Under 4-25-2 listed, the ruling specifies that it is a held ball if the player is prevented from completing the pass or try. In this case, the pass was completed. The pass was able to be thrown, how is it a held ball?
But the original post said the girl was attempting a try first, then passed after the held ball. The held ball on the try occurred before the pass attempt.
You can only have a held ball if the player is prevented from passing or shooting. Iow, you have to prevent both. How could you possibly say a pass was prevented when the player actually did pass the ball?
