That reads as if two handed dribbling is allowed as long as you don't pick up the ball. What is the correct ruling? Surely you can't dribble with two hands can you?
Thanks for any help.

Well, you can put the ball down the FIRST time with two hands, but the second time you do that you've picked up the ball when you caught it off the floor.
If a player rebounds and puts the ball to the floor with two hands, he's started a dribble and then ended it when catching the ball off the floor. Perfectly legal.
