What I am saying is if the defender has his hand on the ball to prevent it from being released at the start of the shot, I am calling a held ball. If he releases it from his hip on his way down is irrelevant because the whistle has already blown. That is the point of immediately calling the held ball. I don't think you can hold your whistle in this situation under the rules.

By doing this, you are taking away one helluva offensive play. If a player can get a shot off, then he has not been prevented from releasing the ball on a pass or try.
