If B1 slapped the ball while A1 was in the air, and A1 never lost control and came back down with it, wouldn't that be a held ball?
Rule 4-25-2: "A held ball occurs when an opponent places his/her hands(s) on the ball and prevents an airborne player from throwing the ball or releasing it on a try."
As your quote indicates, that's only the case on a try. The original post said A1 was trying to pass the ball, not shoot. Read my post above for the rule.
