And that is where the wiggle room exists. Is A1's hand really the last one to touch it? Can you see it so well that you can definitively state that B1's hand was not touching it at the same time? In my game, B1 will be the last one to have touched the ball unless I can clearly see A1's hand on the ball after B1's hand has seperated from the ball.
