held ball

[Adam]

I had a play last year in a game attended by the director of officials for Iowa. A1 goes up for a shot and gets it stuffed by B1, momentarily preventing a release. B1 immediately releases, and A1 ends up kicking it OOB. I called for B ball.
After the game, he said he thought I should have called a held ball since it prevented the shot from being released, at which point you "immediatly" (by rule) have a held ball. Taking that to the play at hand here, I've got a held ball since the shot was prevented from being released. I'm also going with Juulie's interpretation of the word "or" in the rule book.
