I'm half joking here since it now sounds like I"m being a jerk.

You're going to down the right track; but the fact is it's a judgment call. The way I see it, it has to be an obvious "hold" to consider it a violation. Just as in an end of game scenario, it would have to be obvious before I'd wave off a shot taken before the horn sounded.

Not a jerk at all; unless you have a guilty conscience.
