I watched several games over the past week where a shot was initially blocked, then knocked loose as a result of the block, and when the player came back to the floor with it, the crews called, "jump ball". How can it be when it was knocked loose? A block, followed by a loose ball is NOT A JUMP BALL! If both players return to the floor with it, call a jump. If if comes loose at all during the sequence, PLAY ON!

So that would make 4.25.2 in the Fed case book incorrect?
4.25.2 SITUATION: A1 jumps to try for goal or to pass the ball. B1 leaps or reaches and is able to put his/her hands on the ball and keep A1 from releasing it. A1: (a) returns to the floor with the ball; or (b) is unable to control the ball and it drops to the floor. Ruling: A held ball results
immediately in (a) and (b) when airborne A1 is prevented from releasing the ball to pass or try for goal.
