Then the language in casebook play 4.15.4SitD(a) spells out the violation- "Violation in (a) because the ball was touched twice by A1's hand(s) during a dribble before it touched the floor". You use the same rationale as this casebook play for Nevada's example.

I am having a hard time envisioning how NevRef's situation occurred. Where the player's feet schuffling? I re-read his post and see he states that the player "pushed" the ball... If the feet are not moving before the dribble started, I cannot see a violation.... [/QUOTE]Willie,the feet won't come into play because you can't travel while you're dribbling-only at the beginning or the end of the dribble. An example of what Nevada is talking about(I think
) is a player pushing the ball to the floor with his right hand during his dribble,and then reaching in with his left hand and pushing the ball down again before the ball had hit the floor. In other words,the dribbler had hit the ball in the air twice with his hand(s) between bounces.
