A1 gets possession but also B1's arm, which is now clamped between A1's arm and A1's body, with little or none of B1's hand touching the ball. A1 is still intensely "squeezing the ball" as teammates are recommending loudly, and in the process is squeezing B1's arm. It's NOT B1's fault, she's just trying to get her arm back, but not a lot she can do. I've seen partners call holding on A1, "illegal use of hands" on B1, and nothin. I usually call nothin, but don't like it.
As you said yourself,Juulie,if you think that it's "not B1's fault",then you don't have a call and there's nothin' not to like.Delay the whistle and let B1 get her arm out of there.It may take a coupla seconds,but that's usually what happens.If B1 uses the arm to move A1,again in your opinion,then you might have to make a call.

Just let the situation play itself out,then do what YOU think is best for that PARTICULAR situation.
