You mentioned 95% of the time, Bob. What would be a minority case where this wouldn't be a held ball?
Well, if you thought A1 could release the ball anyway, or if the pivot foot was up, and 95% down and then B1 touches the ball just as the foot hits, or it's a blowout game, A1 is winning big and the arrow favors A.
