4.15.4 SIT E b:since the ball did not touch the floor, the tossing and subsequent catch is an illegal dribble.
The argument that the OP is not a violation seems to be based on the idea that the catch ends the dribble. True enough: 4.15.4.a The dribble ends when the dribbler......catches the ball.
SO, why in the above situation did the catch, which ends the dribble,
not prevent a violation?
