Can you tell me where I can read this interpretation, Coach?
I'm not maintaining that this is ALWAYS a held ball but it certainly sounds like it in this situation. I stay away from always and never for the most part.

I don't mean this as a never - sorry if it reads that way. What I do mean is that generally speaking, the rejected shot attempt of the airborn shooter or of the shooter on the floor frequently does not meet the first article of 4-25. That is why there is a separate and distinct 4-25-2.
The original question was asking whether you could apply 4-25-2 to a shooter on the floor. I do not believe you can or should use 4-25-2 ever (that would be my NEVER
in this case) in the case of a shooter on the floor. I don;'t think any provision that relates specifically and only to airborn players ever applies to players on the floor. If the shot rejection of a shooter on the floor results in a tie-up that meets the conditions of 4-25-1, so be it - you have a held ball.
