Uhmmm...well...no....any idiot can say "If a player does not make an effort to grab the ball, you cannot have possession" but of course he would be wrong. There is no requirement for a player to grab or make an effort go grab the ball to obtain possession. All you need to do is hold it or dribble it in bounds while the ball is live.

I believe that the requirement that you stated above is the exact point that I was trying to make from the beginning.Grabbing or holding the ball is not a necessary act for a player to attain player control on a throw-in. [/B]

I'm saying grabbing is not holding (at least to those if us who understand the English language) and means nothing in terms of the rules. [/B][/QUOTE]I can certainly agree with that point.
