Prolonged Contact
Had this exact situation in a USAV tournament: The ball rolled up the arm, but it stopped when it reached the elbow. The player twitched to get the ball to move, and when I called a lift, the coach went ballistic on the call. I was being observed, and a National rated ref (both USAV & PAVO) stated that I made the correct call.
I would not call a prolonged contact unless you see the ball come to a stop.
