His initial post said they where "firmly" holding the ball. I would get in there with the JUMP ASAP!

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, seeing 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.

Now you're just being a tease. 
So what would the result of the whole play be in your eyes?

I seek consensus, Smitty.

Then I think I'm screwed - looks like I'm the only one who would even consider calling a travel in this situation. Personally I think there are too many quick-whistled held-ball calls. Sure, someone could get hurt or pissed off if you let them struggle for a couple seconds, but how many times have you whistled one dead just as one player has wrestled the ball away? I'm sticking with a travel if, in my opinion, the ball hasn't been held long enough to warrant a held-ball call.

No so, Smitty.
I could see a traveling violation.
