B1 makes a steal on a pass from A1 to A2. B1 pushes the ball in the air toward his goal. He again touches the ball before it strikes the floor. Ruling - Legal play
We had a discussion about this last week at our local officials meeting. We were divided about the call.
In: 4.15.4 SITUATION D: While dribbling: (a) A1 bats the ball over the head of an opponent, runs around the opponent, bats the ball to the floor and continues to dribble; RULING: Violation in (a), because the ball was touched twice by A1's hand(s) during a dribble, before it touched the floor.
The question is, since B1 makes a steal, is pushing the ball into the air the start of a dribble?
