held ball
Simultaneous control stoppage
A held ball occurs in basketball when two opposing players simultaneously grip the ball firmly enough that neither can gain possession without undue roughness.
The referee stops play and awards a jump ball or alternating possession.
The ref called a held ball when both players had their hands locked on it.
