Whay would you even think of closing this thread? This has been an excellent debate, with many good and varied points already made by a buncha different posters. And some posters might want to make some additional points. Also, an "interrupted" dribble sure as heck is germane to this particular discussion, and it sureashell ISN'T off-track. One of the possible scenarios already discussed was the dribbler pushing the ball past the defender, then running around the defender and barely stepping on the OOB line instead of completely going OOB. There's two different calls right there, isn't there, depending on whether the official ruled the player stepped OOB during a "dribble" or during an "interrupted dribble"? And to understand the call, don't you also have to understand exactly what an "interrupted dribble" is?
Lah me!
