I got a held ball here.

Camron recently posted a summary of the relevant rulings.

1) Defense touches ball, causing it to come loose: anyone may recover the ball, no travel if shooter catches and returns to floor.

2) Defense touches ball, preventing release of shot: held ball immediately.

3) Defense touches ball, but does not prevent release of shot: travel, if shooter returns to the floor while holding the ball.

My own judgment is usually not good enough to determine when #3 happens. If the ball is touched intentionally (not just brushed by accident by the defense), it usually looks to me like the release of the shot was prevented and I go with #2.
