I've been trying to get that through for 3 threads now, but it's not working. The dribble and/or player control must end BEFORE they go OOB, and what happens to the ball after the fact is meaningless. [/B]
!) I still don't agree with either of you. Same argument, same flaws in it imo.
2) Neither of you has any definitive rules language that will back up your opinion.
3) Lpalmer ain't gonna post any casebook later either that's gonna clear all this up- because there ISN'T one. [/B][/QUOTE]

And what is backing up YOUR opinion.

You have a dribble, you have player control, you have a violation end of debate!
