Held Ball
Held Ball:
A situation that occurs when two opposing players, an offensive player and a defensive player, become tangled and both share possession of the ball and neither can gain sole possession without being over-aggressive. In the event of a held ball - the ball is blown dead -, an official must determine which team retains possession. To do this, he/she will stop play and either call for a jump ball or refer to the possession arrow, depending on the rules of the league: in the NBA, a jump ball is used to restart play, while college teams, FIBA & ULEB use the alternating-possession rule.
