When I do watch NBA games, I have seen these called. So I really do not know what you are talking about. And I am not sure what the NBA has to do with this conversation. You are not asking about the NBA, you are asking about the NCAA.

That's really the one thing I want to know. Can a player (NCAA) dribble the ball above the shoulder or head legally?

Yes depending on how the ball got there.

Volleyball has fans?
