I also agree with teh explanation below that was
posted as an explanation.
"Clearly tapping the ball in the manner you decribed is an advantage for a person and should be called a travel. That is the intent of the travel rule. Rule 2-3 can be used to clarify this. That is exactly why it is there. Clearly the player is in control of the ball by tapping it in such a manner to advance down the court. The rules cannot be all inclusive. Everything cannot be spelled out and every possible word for control cannot be used. 2-3 is there for referee judgement on items that are not specifically covered."
"Websters definition of holding is "to take and keep with hands" it doesn't say anything has to be at rest. So I can screen you with by body while I tap the ball up in the air and I am holding it away from you."
Clearly this is not difficult to understand. I can not believe you are really going to allow this in a game. Not trying to be sarcastic, I just do not understand how you would allow this. Please don't just say there is no EXACT verbage in teh rules that says you can't do this... THE INTENT OF THE RULES.
