In response to question by irefbb2,
If A1 has used dribble, then falls to the floor and places ball down to stop the fall, has A1 traveled? Can A1 put a hand or knee down and not violate? My books are at home, but I seem to remember that the offensive player could put down another hand or their non-pivot foot without violation, but the ball or knee did in fact cause a violation. Help me with this one, please!
2-15 Dribble, Question (2) - Is it a dribble when a player stands still and ... (b) holds the ball and touches it to the floor once or more than once? Answer - ... (b) No.
4-42-5 (last year's number) A player holding the ball ... a. May not touch the floor with a knee or any other part of the body other than hand or foot.
Hope that helps.
