Just having the hand on the ball doesn't necessitate a jump ball. If that were the case there would be dozens of jump balls each game.
There is no jump ball.
A violation should have been called.
Any action after the violation would have been dead ball contact.
However we have a swung, waist was the pivot point, elbow to the face. Flagrant.
