Jump or travel ???

Check the Held Ball definition 4-25-2.

A held ball occurs when: An opponent places his/her hand(s) on the ball and prevents an airborne player from throwing the ball or releasing it on a try.

Up-and-down and the ball doesn't come out - I think the proper call is jump.

This assumes that the offense did not have opportunity to make a pass or shot attempt. And you have to make that decision. The shooter cannot decide after being partially checked and still having good opportunity to make a release, come back to the floor and say "Well, rather than pass or shoot, I'm gonna take the jump ball." It's not his choice. This situation should be called a travel.

Up-and-down and the ball is knocked out - play on, good defense.

Up-and-down and ball is released by the shooter so it falls to the floor - travel is probably appropriate.

Unless the shooter tries to do something sneaky to make up for good defense I lean toward jump.

So up-and-down and the ball incidentally comes out - jump.

Just my opinion... and I haven't had anybody really question it either.
