I say YES. Rule 9 Section 5.Illegal dribble,or is it 9-4 Travel?. Seems like a violation to me because the ball was batted by team A,then caught in the air after taking steps.If the opponent batted the ball it would be ok. Is "traveling" the correct call or is it another violation?Please point out the correct rule if you can.
Is 4-15-2 not the case? " . . . During a dribble the ball may be batted into the air provided it is permitted to strike the floor before the ball is touched again with the hand(s).
And while we're at it, does 4-15.2 not imply that A1 could bat the ball, run to catch up to it to continue the dribble, have the ball strike his shoulder on the way down, and then pick it up or continue to dribble with it - an interrupted dribble?
