I'm sorry if this has been covered already.

If A has the ball and B unintentionally steps on his/her foot to which prevents A from starting or continuing a dribble, what do you got? Is this a hold or nothing?

In my case there was a clear defensive advantage because A's foot stuck to the floor and the ball went bouncing away. I called and sold a hold and nobody complained (although this was rec ball where they all belong in the NBA).

But by rule is this correct?
There's often "unintentional contact" that is judged a foul. As I envision the play described, this is one of those instances, alhtough I might signal block.
