B1 wildly throws the ball in an attempt to pass before falling and it goes right to A2. B1 takes a tumble. Note, the only contact was A1 running into the ball and not into B1.

Would anyone have a whistle here for anything, ever? I just thought, well that was interesting, and ran down to officiate the next play.

Did B1 travel while holding it out and running into A1?

If not, probably a good no-call if all the contact was on the ball and it wasn't unsporting.

Pedantic advice: it helps if we keep A on offense. It's not really necessary, but it's just what we're used to so it's easier to read. Take that for what it's worth.
