Absent any "official" interpretation surfacing that says otherwise, I'm going with no possession by F6. For me, it boils down to an issue of control.

If F4 were to walk away from F6, would the ball go with her? If so, then F6 obviously wasn't in control of it.

Yep, let me pile on here. Only one player can have control of the ball at any one time.

I've seen the throw the glove with the ball in it as a manner of changing possession, but Bretman is correct here.

Why? Couldn't you just argue that F6's release was voluntary and intentional?
