Guys,
BktBallRef and I had this debate last year and I know both of us still hold differing opinions.
We agree that handing the ball to a teammate is a violation, but I believe that there is no rule against a teammate merely touching or even grabbing the ball, if the thrower does not release it. I say that since no rule prohibits it; it is legal. Tony says it is a violation.
This was about a 5 page thread last year if I remember correctly, so use the google search and Tony and I can do something more constructive than rehash our positions.
So, what you're saying is that if A2 touches the ball, but doesn't ever get control, it's not a violation?!? What are the chances? Why would he touch the ball if he wasn't taking it? A fake? I don't understand your point here.
