Jump ball or Travel
Strange play: Player A is an airborne shooter, the defender comes from behind a touches (more like grazes) the ball. The ball never came dislodged, loose or at anytime did player A lose control.
Player A just held onto the ball and returned to the floor - he never shot it, bobbled it, nothing ...
The case book says if the defender keeps the shooter from releasing it is a jump ball, but I am not sure that defender was kept from releasing it. The shooter just never shot it.
Thoughts?
