Yup, and if a player on the floor has the ball held firmly betwwen both legs, and an opponent then puts a hand on the ball, is that a held ball too?

Btw, that one was in the case book many,many years ago.
"kicking" violation.

Kicking? How ya figger?
NCAA 4-43 AR 30, part of which reads, "The intent of this rule is to prevent a player from gaining an advantage byu using any part of the leg."
The NFHS Rule is:

4-29 Kicking the ball is intentionally striking it with any part of the leg or foot.

I don't know in a high school game if holding it with your legs is considered striking it, but in my mind it isn't.
