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.
