I'm just thinking the first time those kids try out that move in junior high or high school, they'll be sorely disappointed. I understand the NBA rule is essentially the same, but the enforcement is not.

What you described makes no sense to what was said and I really do not know what part of the NCAA rulebook you are trying to read. It is also clear you do not know a lot about officiating either.

Then maybe you can help. It sounds like a simple rule. One can't let ball come to rest on the hand while dribbling. However - this "point of emphasis" in the NCAA rulebook is making a lot of people who watch the games suspicious that it's meant to outlaw any dribbling motion above the shoulder level. That's really the one thing I want to know. Can a player (NCAA) dribble the ball above the shoulder or head legally?
Is this really some secret society with some secret handshake? I understand it does take a lot of experience and training to learn everything and to perform it well at a high level. However - I love volleyball, and I know any number of refs who are perfectly willing to explain to the fan otherwise obscure points to the rulebook.
