Uh.......no? Okay, the word is judgment. If we agree (do we?) that the word "holding" is like other terms in the books, not to be interpreted absolutely literally, then we must decide when the player tossing the ball to himself is no longer in control. I humbly submit two possible answers:

1. When the ball is out of the player's reach.

2. You'll know it when you see it.
