If you look closely you can see the ball resting in his palm as he brings it behind his back. That ends the dribble. I've got a carry or double dribble, it could have been called either way. Good call by the officials, I didn't catch it until the close up, but that official got it right. If you ever read this forum, good job man, that was a great call.
Mike, as 4-43-3-c "After establishing a pivot foot, the pivot foot bay not be lifted before the ball is released, to start a dribble"
So when the next dribble was released before the pivot foot returned to the floor it would be a travel.
The next dribble has to be released before the pivot foot leaves the floor.
So there's 3 things that could've been called here, travel, illegal dribble, or carrying.
Mike, here's something you'd probably find funny, as I was leaving the gym after doing my morning games, I get cut off by this black car, now I'm swearing at the guy, when I look at his license plate "AL 54"
