The ball had been knocked away from the dribbler and rolled a few feet. A1 goes to one knee to retrieve the ball. As A1 lifts the ball off the floor to attempt a pass to a teammate, B1 reaches down and puts both hands on the ball.
The moment B1 touched the ball, the two girls literally stopped playing and just looked up at me to blow the whistle. I even waited a couple seconds and they just sat there. I couldn't believe it. They just stopped. Finally, I had to blow the whistle.
This was a varsity game, too.

Aaaargh, I hate that! We put all this work in the weight room. My player rips the ball away and here is a jump ball whistle to protect the fragile little girls. My most-used comment to officials during the game (well, right after "what did you see from your angle on that call?") has to be "They are big girls, let them play!"

I think you misread Chuck's post,Coach.Chuck was gonna let 'em play,but the girls stopped.Chuck had no choice but to blow the whistle.If you had used your most-used comment in this case,you would have been just another WRONG coach.
