Held ball vs. Traveling
4.25.2 vs. 4.44.3 Sit A
A few officials around here are having a pretty good discussion about how an official can judge:
"preventing a player from releasing the ball" vs. "does not prevent a player from releasing the ball".
Some are saying that the defender has to have contact with the ball all the way to the floor to "prevent a try for goal or pass".
Would any of you like to give some examples to make it clearer for an official to judge such acts?
Or is it simply a matter of "that's why we get the big bucks" ?
