If, in a similar situation, the defender simply touches the ball, the airborne shooter maintains control of the ball, chooses not to release the ball, and returns to the floor holding the ball, it’s a traveling violation.

Paintguru: I see your point, but as is often stated here on the Forum, sometimes we just have to ref the game, that's why we get the big bucks.

Guess I am missing something then. Use the criteria of the ball in relation to the hand(s) (as far as article 2). I just basically use that, not any other part of the body, momentum, off the floor, etc. NBD.

Below is link to game. Poor quality. Fast forward to the 31:00 mark. Play occurs at about 1:40 in the first half.

You better use that one, since it is required by the rule.

Indeed it will. So, there could never be a held ball as a result of a prevented shot from a shooter on the floor. Wonder why they put that in there, especially when the game originated with set shots. Must be historical aspect...Mr. DeNucci? (inner BillyMac coming out of me, sorry)

Speculating:

If the shooter hasn't left the floor, then the defense touching doesn't really cause a problem -- it's still "play on"

If the shooter is off the floor, and the defense's touching prevents a release, the the "result of the play" would be traveling -- and that's not really fair to the offense. So, go with the held ball.

Yes, makes sense. I can still envision, and have seen, someone try to make a pass while on the floor and the resulting defender hand on the ball resulted in a travel by the offense. Rare of course and not one makes a stink on that type of play. I have also seen, mostly in lower level girls play, someone, while on the floor, try to shoot, and the defender has her hand on the ball. Then the offensive player "tries" to jump, and does barely, all while the defender has her hand on the ball.

Rare instances and again, not a big deal. Your angle makes good sense.
