Has there been a change in possession? On the one hand, B never gained possession, so it's tempting to say no. On the other hand, A gave up possession when A2 takes his/her shot, so it's tempting to say yes.

Since "possession" is not defined in Rule 4, it's hard to say which wins.
Well, reading from the Book of Bob, a change of possession is:

"Sometime during the period beginning when A is not awarded the FT and ending when the error is discovered, B has TC of the ball"

So, by that standard . . .

But it sure looks like you have a good tehnical point. Is it Nevada-worthy?
