In the original play, A1 is not shooting or attempting to pass... merely holding. Thus the difference.

The other definition of "held ball" is: "Opponents have their hands so firmly on the ball that control cannot be obtained without undue roughness." I'd say that applies in this case!

Jewel,
yU.P., I heard of that rule also, and I call it that way. Thanks for pointing that out.
I envisioned a player batting the stationary ball short of "firmly on the ball" more like a batt, a momentary push... from the side, from the top, I don't care which direction. If you wanna call a held ball, it's your call.
I have a travel. I will not award the offense the advantage you offer for being off-balance, uncoordinated, or merely weak in any level 5th grade to CCA.
