Held Ball

A1 driving to the basket, still has two hands on the ball as he goes up for the shot. B1 gets his hand on the ball and it causes A1 to lose balance. However, before landing A1 throws the ball up over his head in order to prevent a traveling call.

Is this a held ball? Does the fact the he eventually releases the ball negate the held ball? I called held ball.

4.25.2 makes me question that because it says its a held ball because the player was prevented from releasing the ball to try a shot or a pass.
