Holding/Illegal Use of Hand or no call.
I have read 2-3-4c and 2-3-5c and 9-2 and it isn't cut and dry to me.
My thoughts are it is still holding/illegal use of hands. Others have said there is no holding on players going for a loose ball.
Thoughts, references are apprecaited.

It is my understanding that A12 CAN hold B92 in an effort to recover the loose ball HIMSELF, but he cannot hold B92 so that a TEAMMATE can recover the loose ball. The same would go for B.
I don't have a reference though.
I could be wrong too...
