this is what joe put in response after my response
Crew I ask you this question forget about the high school rule, nba rule or college rule for a second.now you have played the game right ??? if so think of this.You go up for a shot and the defender places his or her hand on the ball which now prevents you from shooting the ball.You are in the playground of NY OK and you come down with the ball the defender makes a great defensive play so why would we call a travel.If the defender stops you from achieving your goal which was to shoot the ball why now would we penalize you by calling a travel when in fact the defender caused you to come back to the ground with the ball.???? The common sense thing is to call a jumpball Regardless of the fact you come down with a firm hand on the ball is irrelevant the fact that you stopped the player from completing his task is the question. Why do we need to cut hairs think about the play and what was accomplished
