Mark T.,
Well, I am thinking that if the defender's contact with the ball is anything longer than a quick strike, then we have to call a held ball.
If the defender has enough time to "power push" the ball handler off balance and to the floor, let's jump it, cuz the ball handler cannot/will not release it.
I just can't call a foul on the defender; unless, I already have the held ball and he continues pushing... then we have something.
