BTW, it's even more ludicrous to call this an illegal dribble. A dribble is batting the ball to the floor. Where, in this thread, was it stated that the ball was batted to the floor? Please site the rule that says you can have an illegal dribble without dribbling.

Tony,
I think we were talking about
:
"Player sprints down the court with hands at waist level and taps 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."
Assuming player control, and then that the player bats the ball while in control... and then bats the ball again before it hit the floor I determined that I could live with an illegal dribble violation based on the difference between 4.15.4D (Dribble violation) and 4.15.4E (Moving violation).
I know you will call a violation. Which would you choose?
