Happens all the time, but how do you know he didn't lose the ball after it was dead?

I can say that I have seen this a lot, at all levels, and that is why we don't give it to the guy who looks like he has it. I teach my players to wrap it up on the bottom of a pile and hold on for dear life. If someone takes it from them under the pile, then they didn't really have it or they are just too weak and don't deserve it.

Then what you're saying is to keep grabbing for the ball while officials are trying to sort it out.
