Concerning rolling the basketball - NCAA Rule 2 section 3 - Elastic Power(EP). I can call it a travel or double dribble and be correct. But I am not saying you have to call it either.

I don't recall the NFHS rule but I thnk it is the same as NCAA in regard to the elastic power rule.

I would use the EP rule very sparingly. I have only used it for a couple of situations, both mens rec. league. To remove two players from the game without ejecting them or assessing technicals and to end a game before time expired.
I can't think of a reason to use the EP rule in a highschool game or a college game.

Any of you ever used the elastic power rule to justify anything?
