Hey, I'm just using the tools that are available.

mick,
"Hello? McFly? Anybody home?"
4.15.4 SITUATION D
While dribbling: ....
This means that the player was dribbling the ball.
The ball had already touched the floor.
(a) A1 bats the ball over the head of an opponent, runs around the opponent, bats the ball to the floor and continues to dribble;
Then, he bats the ball twice before it touches the floor.
It's an illegal dribble because the ball touched the floor, and then he touched the ball twice before it hit the floor again.
In 4.15.4E, the ball never touches the floor.
In the play that you described, the ball never touches the floor.
That's why it's traveling and not an illegal dribble.
Understand?
