It just happens that one hand on the ball is rarely enough for a player to retain their hold on the ball but it can be done.
Good point. I'll think about it will get back, the clause that is holding me back from answering totally is the "undue roughness" . In the situation I described, all the shooter needs to do is lower their arm ... hence no undue roughness,
