Personally, in this situation, I do not call a held ball as soon as possible. Unlike preventing the release of a pass, or release of a shot, a player cleanly taking the ball away from an opponent requires strength, speed and athleticism.

The immediate jump ball, IMO, diminishes the advantage of being better skilled. ... But it certainly is the easy way to make the call.
