Another LA study guide question. A fumble and a muff are methods of losing player control. True or false. I think the fumble is cut and dried, but I have yet to find the exact definition of a muff. My understanding is that this is a failure to catch the ball cleanly, so my first thought was that on a muff this player never had control. However it was suggested that this could apply to a player who was catching the ball to end a dribble, in which case it would end player control. The way I see it this has no bearing anywhere except on the test, but this is true of many other questions as well. I entertain opinions on this subject, and hopefully some solid documentation that we have overlooked.

My first inclination was to put in a response that, as moderator, I'd immediately have to censor.
I think the dribble issue is best described as an "interrupted dribble", not as a "muff", but I agree the term isn't defined, so the "correct" answer will depend on the efinition used by test maker.
