The important part of this is that the case book says " ...the controlled toss of the ball...".
So.... this is NOT an interrupted dribble.
Finally, as we know, also, and it is stated on Page 56 of the Rule Book...Section 3 Article 2 NOTE: "The dribbler has committed a violation if he/she steps on or outside a boundary even though he/she is not touching the ball while he/she is out of bounds."
For what it is worth...... (and I admit it may not be worth much  ) the Rules Committee has been notified of this information and I would bet we will see that case changed in next year's book. |
Sorry John but you and your group are wrong. It is an interrupted dribble.
You emphasized " ...the controlled toss of the ball...". Every start of every dribble is a controlled toss or bat of the ball. If it was uncontrolled, it would be a fumble. And we know that a fumble is not a dribble and a dribble is not a fumble.
The dribble begins with control. Once there is no longer player control, then the dribble is interrupted.
