Violation: yes or no?

If he pins it down tightly and an opponent grasps it also do you have a held ball?

Yes, but I don't think it helps in the plays in this thread.

Control (by either team) is not required for a held ball.

Seems to me someone's trying very hard to have his cake and eat it too. This is very simple - he has control ... or he doesn't. If he has control ... he can call time out - but he can't get up. If he doesn't have control, he cannot call time out (don't care who's near him) but he can get up.

You can't have a ruling where he can get up AND he can call time out. You have to choose here.

Sorry, wasn't trying to hijack the thread. I was just asking for my own benefit. I was glad to hear your answer as I would call held ball.
