This ain't rocket science.

Speaking of rocket science...
What if the ball just happens to be ON the floor as the player pushes it?
You have a dribble now?

Speaking of rocket science ... that ball on the floor isn't really at rest on the floor but because of kenetic energy is actually minutely bouncing- more so when rolling.

Well let's see...
If the ball is not moving on the floor it is at rest and has no kinetic energy.
If the ball is moving on the floor it has kinetic energy.
Neither of which means anything in this discussion.
I think BZ's original point was if A1 is HOLDING the ball then the ball somehow makes it TO the floor to initiate the roll. Good point.
My point is if the ball is on the floor - moving or standing still - when A1 rolls it he does not move the ball TO the floor. Because it's already there.
