Yeah I screwed it up. Sorry. However using what the quiz says, I still dont understand how it can constitue a dribble just b/c it hit the floor before being retrieved.
Read the definition of a dribble. I don't have my Fed books, but here are the first three articles from NCAA:
Section 18.Dribble
Art.1.A dribble is ball movement caused by a player in control who bats, pushes or taps the ball to the playing court once or several times.
Art.2.The dribble may be started by pushing, throwing, tapping or batting the ball to the playing court.
Art.3.During a dribble, the ball may be batted into the air, provided thatit is permitted to strike the playing court one or more times before the ball is touched again with either hand.
The player "threw" the ball to start the dribble. As long as the "throw" strikes the court before the player, it constitutes a dribble. It is an ugly play, and one that I would venture a guess that nearly 50% (just a guess) would call a travel.
