4-15-2 says that a 'bat' does not end the dribble.

4-15-4 SITUATION F says a bat ends the dribble. There is no 4-15-2 in the 2005-2006 NFHS Case Book.

1) Dashes are used for rules, periods are used for cases. So, of course there's no 4-15-2 in the case book, it's in the rules book.
2) 4.15.4F, the case to which you refer, includes a bat by the defense. That ends the dribble.
3) A bat by the offense (dribbler) does not end the dribble, *provided the ball is permitted to strike the floor before the ball is touched again with the hands*
4) The emphasized part above didn't happen -- so it was a violation.
5) The official in the play was incorrect in ruling this a travelling violation -- it was a dribbling violation. See 4.15.4D(a)
6) As long as the official blew the whistle, who (other than the IAABO test masters) cares which of the violations he called?
