Ball is now bouncing in bounds but nobody is around yet, so the player comes back into the court (both feet in bounds) and continues the dribble.
I had no call, and player goes into score uncontested layup. Excitment from other team.
Closest situation in the book is 7-1.1 AR1 (NCAA). I am wondering more about continuing the dribble?
Thanks

When the player forced the last dribble back toward the court, it bacame an interrupted dribble.
As long as the player didn't grab the ball (end the dribble) upon retunring to the court, it was a legal play.
