If in that interval of time one of the players involved steps OOB, FIBA requires that a held ball is called. That's all.
2)Would you call a held ball as soon as a player puts both hands on the ball in control of an opponent? I guess you won't; we won't either, even if the first player steps OOB before the "initial" conditions for a held ball are present.

1) It's enforced exactly as I said above. You don't have dual control but you treat it like there was dual control. That illogical imo.
2) No, but if that player was OOB when he first puts both hands on the ball, we do call a violation on him. We also call a violation on that player if he steps OOB
anytime after he first puts both hands on the ball but before dual control is attained. Under FIBA rules, you don't.
It is what it is....a FIBA rule....but it just isn't logical to me.
