Officiating younger levels (middle school in this case), I found that quick "jump ball" calls are better for the safety for the kids. In every game, there were numerous alt possessions from the held balls. If player A has 2 hands on ball, and player B has 2 hands on ball. Obvious held ball. If A has 2 hands and B has 1 hand on ball, I think it would still be a held ball. But be watchful for B trying to get his 2nd hand on the ball and end up reaching in and commiting a foul. Had that alot too.
