I write that and "hir".

But unless terms have changed, isn't it "tie ball" rather than "held"?

It's been held ball for at least 18 years.

Better than "jump ball" (I hope that Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. doesn't read this).

Did they merge it with the existing "held ball" (player holdiing ball 5 sec. in front court while closely guarded or surrounded by teammates & court boundaries)? Or is the latter called something else now?

In NCAA football there was for a while a ball status called "free ball" that was later eliminated, so I wouldn't be surprised.

1) No.

2) This has "always" been "closely guarded" and not "held ball"

I think this is one of those times that "always" depends on how long you've been looking, and possibly at whose codes or whose precis of codes (like Ed Steitz's Illustrated Basketball Rules).

I've only been officiating basketball for 18 years. I didn't actually go back and check my books, but I don't think it was ever (in that time) called "held ball" for closely guarded.

Oh, I'm sure you're right about that time. Terms must've changed some time between the 1970s & then.

Is this the kinda play on which some would not call a foul?

Good example.

Now, if black had come from the other side (the "left" in the video), I would be less likely to have a foul even if he ended up on top because he (likely) would have the ball first.

I'ld have a foul there.

Now if he's coming into the ball from the other side or if the player is on their back and ball is up above and the player jumps into/onto the ball and ends up landing on the player. Different story.

Getting the ball first doesn't give a player the right to land on another player. Still a foul.
