A1 starts to pass to A2.
Before the one-handed pass is released, B1 puts one hand on the ball and prevents the release.
"Jump!"

Isn't that only true for an airborne passer? If the offensive player has feet on the floor and this happens, chances are the ball ends up loose and I would have a no-call. No?
Gee, Smitty. I dunno.
Let's add some stuff:
  • A1 starts to pass to A2 (lifting pivot and now on one foot).
    Before the one-handed pass is released, B1 puts one hand on the ball and prevents the release
    (causing A2 to lose balance and retouch his pivot foot).

    "Jump?" ...."Travel?"
