Yep, just an abysmal call. At no point did the dook player have shared possession of the ball. Just glad we had the arrow so it ultimately didn't matter.
One of the worst calls I have ever seen.

1. At no point was it close to being a jump ball. The hands didn't even touch the ball.
2. There were multiple intentional fouls first.
3. It was the end of the game. You can't call that at that point of the game unless it is obvious.

I’ve never been a fan of the way the held ball rule is called. Refs tend to call it as soon as two players are holding the ball at once, or even right after one player rips it out of the hands of the other. I think they should wait at least a couple seconds before calling it and give the players a chance for one of them to come away with it. Call it when it becomes apparent that no player will come away with it absent a physical fight.
