"Sprint down the court with hands at waist level and tap the ball back and forth from left hand to right never letting the ball come to rest. You could run circles around your opponents never letting the ball come to rest in either hand, as long as you tap it back and forth.

I say this is traveling because the player is in control of the ball. It is a controlled tap. This is traveling. Bktballref said this is not traveling and he would allow it. No such thing as a controlled tap..

Thanks in advance........
This is your exact,original post above.YOU quote BBRef as saying "never letting the ball come to rest".Then you say this is travelling.If the ball doesn't come to rest,the player CAN'T be holding it,and therefore CAN'T travel.That's what the rule I stated(R4-43) says.If you think different,please cite a rule,any rule,to back up your contention.
