Case Book 4.44.3 SITUATION A: A1 jumps to try for goal. B1 also jumps and: (b) touches the ball but does not prevent A1 from releasing the ball; RULING: (b) the ball remains live.
The implication is that A1, subsequent to the touching of the ball by B1, did release the ball.
In (c) touches the ball and A1 returns to the floor holding the ball; RULING: in (c), a traveling violation.
Perhaps, we tend to overthink this play, by ignoring the implication in (b).
