Mr. Jurassic Referee,

I don't NevadaRef or Hawks Coach would have a problem calling a held ball in either of the two situations you describe. I know that I would not. However the original situation was a set shot being blocked by a defender. In this case, I can't imagine a situation where the offensive player would not be able to easily pull the ball away from the defender. That's why generally I would not call a held ball in that case, of course as DTTB stated, all situations like this are HTBT calls.

Sam,the referee that made the original post,and was there,stated that the offensive player couldn't pull the ball away because it was suspended,and that the play met the criteria(in his opinion)of a held ball.That's what I've been basing my replies on.I'm not second-guessing him,and I don't intend to.

Btw,do I get to put a "sic" in your first sentence above for leaving out a verb?
