Incredible
Making a very simple question difficult. No one said we are just throwing around rule 2-3 anytime we want to. No one said we are going to ignore any rules. Now you are saying things that have not been said.
Is a player in control of a ball when he is spinning it on his finger. I say yes, but he is not holding or dribbling.... Again it goes back to judgement, every word for control can not be established. Back to Bob statement which you agreed with, "hand under ball he has control", I have no problem with this. But he never said he was holding the ball. Only that he felt that hand under ball established control. That is all I have been saying all along. At some point in tapping ball back and forth from left to right hand and I am going to say the player has established control of the ball and after that it will be traveling. What is the difference?
This was said 30 posts ago. That I felt the player has established control. The argument was he has to be holding or dribbling. You just agreed that hand under ball establishes control. Bob Jenkins never said he was holding it, never siad the ball came to rest. Again this is just semantics and making a ridiculously easy play difficult. Could this play ever happen... YES. When it does you are going to at some point say the player has established control and call traveling.. RIGHT? Whether we have to see it or not is a mute point. At some point is a player does this you are going to call traveling. Why is this so difficult to say?Again this is just common sense....
