How we "stop him" is simple: his coach will eventually jump off the bench and yell at him to stop f***ing around, which will startle him into actually grabbing the ball, at which point the coach will call time & sub him out of the game.
That's how we "stop him". [/B][/QUOTE]
So you do not believe there are any *rules* to stop this kind of play at all?

You mean specifically a player tap tap tapping (maybe better said bat bat batting) the ball all the way down court?
As JR said once the ball rests on the player's hand you have player control.
But the only time *I* see a player tap tap tapping the ball to himself is when he's fighting with a coupla other players for possession, usually off a rebound. Perfectly legal.
But if a player did, for some reason, tap tap tap the ball all the way down court I have nothing. Assuming he only bat bat batted the ball.
