I think that player has earned the right to contest for the ball as part of competing.

I know some of us are concerned about throwing a good jump ball in a close contest, but I think that skill would improve as more jumps are administered.

We have games (mostly girls games) around here that last entirely too long as it is, partly because there are so many held balls. This would extend them even longer. I don't like it.
