CANADIAN RULING:

I would. If the ball was deflected right after the release, likely not. But if the ball is already well on it's way to the ground with no A eligible player nearby, or trying to get to the ball, and B touches the ball not right after the release and the ball's trajectory isn't altered much, I'd flag it.

However, it's very much a had to be there play.

The key to making a "dumping" call has always been looking into the passer's "soul" and judging his intent.
