Held ball and traveling

[eyezen]

What am I glossing over that makes me doubt myself-

NFHS case 4.25.2

A1 jumps to try for goal or to pass the ball. B1 leaps or reaches and is able to put his hands on the ball and keep A1 from releasing it. A1 a) returns to the floor with the ball....

Ruling A held ball results immediately in a)

NFHS case 4.44.3

A1 jumps to try for goal. B1 also jumps and... c) touches the ball and A1 returns to the floor holding the ball

Ruling In c) a traveling violation


NCAA 4-35-1b AR 95

A1 jumps for a try for field goal. B1 jumps to defend against the try and a) touches the ball before it leaves A1's hand and A1 returns to the floor with the ball and the ball never loses contact with A1s hand...

Ruling In a) the official shall call a held ball...



Given the above my questions are -

A) In 4.25.2 do we assume that B1 also maintains contact with the ball to the floor?

B) If not wouldn't that contradict 4.44.3?

C1) NFHS both A and B return to floor with ball - held ball - yes

C2) NFHS only A returns with ball - traveling - correct?

D) NCAA either scenario - held ball - correct?
