How is this any different from a tall player who taps the ball into the air 5 or 6 times to prevent an opponent from getting it but never holds it? The answer - It isn't any different and neither play is illegal. Dennis Rodman made a living doing this for several years.
Wasn't this discussed on McGriff's a couple of years ago? Didn't someone get a ruling from someone on the NFHS rules committee (I thought it was you, Tony asking Dick KNox)?

I seem to remember that this movement was considered "dribbling" -- so as long as it didnt' violate any of the dribbling rules, the move was legal.
