Jump ball or out of bounds?

So A1 jumps to shoot the ball, B5 caps the ball so it cannot be released. Are you saying we shouldn't call the held ball until they land??

I'm waiting. I've had my shot capped a few times but was still strong enough to release it before I landed. In fact it happened to me today in lunch-time ball. Unfortunately a 2nd defender swatted my sh!t.

The rule says a held ball if "... control cannot to obtained without undue roughness (4.25.1)
and as in your case
"... prevents an airborne player from...." (4.25.2)

neither seem to apply here


Hopefully a shooting foul was called

The OP and this is covered under situation for 4.25.2

HELD ball is the correct call

Yes, I'm aware of the rule. The question was about, waiting for them to land before ruling on the play as mbyron stated.

The held ball came first Therefore held ball is called. When they left the floor I assume both playes were inbound

I did edit my post

Thank you I hope for a good call once in awhile

since a held ball came first; HELD ball is the correct call
