I'm sorry Bart, as I know we've been on opposite sides lately bu that is a completely and totally false guideline. You can easily control the ball with one hand.

Fellas, you can make up out these things that you want to about lack of control. Bottom line is that if he didn't tap or bat it, he passed it. A player can pass a ball without player control and a no player that I know of can bat a ball over 50 feet.

If this was volleyball, would it be a legal touch? No, and in volleyball, a bat is a legal touch. This isn't a bat.
Am I to assume you would call a double dribble when a player is attempting to gain control, he intercepts a pass by reaching out with one hand and pushes it to the floor, then grabs it with two hands and starts his dribble?
