The high dribble is just that, a high dribble, unless the hand gets under the ball. The POE is addressing the play where A1 may go up on his tiptoes, give a slight hesitation, and then return the ball to the floor. Usually the ball ends up spinning in the dribbler's hand or he does a quick little wrist flick. Palming.
Tony,
I agree regarding the high dribble; I still get a chuckle with that tippy-toe description, though.
