sorry I maybe didn't describe the situation well. the ball was rolling around in the end zone. Both teams jumped for the ball. and others jumped for the ball ... there was a pile ... all happend in 1-2 seconds. I am not sure if Team B player had the ball completely under control when grabbing for it since the pile immediately was build.

(sorry for my bad English)

What if we would have digged and Team A had the ball in their hands? If B would have controlled the ball when lying on the ground they would still have it after the digging. I mean you dig, because you don't know who has the fumble. If I was totally sure that Team B would have controlled the ball on the ground we'd all have blown our whistle before.
