NFHS Lodged ball - casebook plays

So is the ball dead when it becomes lodged or is it dead when the umpire recognises that the ball is lodged; much can go on between when the ball enters a glove and the second and a half later when the glove is removed and tossed.

I think Carl answered this question earlier - "The FED position is thus very clear: If the fielder believes he must toss the ball/glove combo to another fielder, that is PROOF the ball is lodged: dead ball, two bases."

This will be easy to administer in FED games, if it happens at all.
