Lemme see if I got this right now according to your logic, Chuck...
Ending a dribble is completely different than ending a dribble. If you dribble again after ending your dribble, it is a violation......except ...... if you dribble again after ending your dribble, it is not a violation...sometimes. The key to making the right call is to ascertain
where and
how the first dribble ended, not
whether the first dribble actually
had ended(that is a given).
Palming the ball is only obvious and a violation if there is a defender within a certain number of feet- such distance known only to Chuck. Nobody else in the gym can recognize palming.
That pretty much sum up your philosophy?
Methinks you and BillyMac must go to the same camps.
