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.

Your last paragraph is a good description of possible scenarios of what happened. I think that we have to see the play to make a judgement about the play. The scenario that interest me is the one where B1 just pushes on the ball hard enough to knock over A1. B1 does not bat at the ball nor does he put his hands on the ball in a manner that would meet the definition of a held ball.
