That should answer your question.
I don't know if it SHOULD answer my question, but it doesn't. What I think is really not as important as what Howard thinks. How I interpret something will get me out of a jam (sometimes) on an issue I haven't studied, but the important point is how the rules committee wants it interpreted.

So on this particular issue, I don't think that if the ball bounces back and hits the player again it should be a double dribble. But it sounds like Camron thinks it should. He knows Howard better than I do, so I'm taking his word for it. Unless I'm misunderstanding what he's saying, it's a double dribble in my book from now on.
