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

JR,
I agree that if the referee thought that the ball was in fact a held ball, then he was justified in calling it. My only reason for continuing the discussion is simply to make the point that except in the case of an airborne shooter, the simple action of blocking a shot is not always a held ball.
And feel free to correct my posts and add a (sic) whenever you like.
