Backcourt/On the jump

[PIAA REF]

I was U2, I was becoming the center the player cupped the ball and throw it into the backcourt I thought it should have been over and back the trail did not call it. We talked about it at the half and thought it was missed.
It was last year, won't let it happen this year.

So it's up to your judgment whether what you saw met the definition of "holding" the ball. In your position, I'd have probably done the same as you, namely, waited to see what someone else thought!

When in doubt on this type of play, I would err on the side of saying control was NOT established and that there is no violation.

[just another ref]

The original post said he "secures the ball." The word secure indicates control. If so, it is clearly a violation.
