Call on the court = Held ball. Thoughts?

That's what I thought at first glance.

That was my thought as well which is why the C's silence didn't make sense to me since he's responsible for curl plays.

And...it didn't cause any problems but the L made the famed "good block" signal right before the whistle came from the T.

It appears like the defender may have hit the ball initially. It wasn't clear that there was a foul (from this angle). I'd call it a blocked shot.

Not a held ball, and not a travel. Legal play. The trail called the reaction and not the play. The lead knew the ball was hit (as indicated by his unauthorized signal) and knew it couldn't be a travel since the ball was knocked lose by the defense.

incidental contact on the shooter on the initial attempt...this is a travel!

I hope that this post is made in jest because it is wrong by rule once the ball come free, and I'm not even talking about a possible foul.

It appeared to me that defender blocked the shot with his arm. What I can't tell, due to the angle, is whether the shooter was off his feet at the time of block. If so, held ball. If not, legal play.

Assume the shooter was off his feet....how do you get to a held ball when the ball is knocked out of the shooters hands by the defense?
