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.

You're talking about a completely different situation than Drake is. In Drake's sitch,the ball comes loose in the air.In your sitch,it doesn't come loose.Drake's sitch is legal as per casebook play 4.43.3SitA(a).It's the difference between stopping a player from releasing the ball and actually knocking the ball out of his hands.
