Conclusion: it is not legal to bounce the ball with both hands at the end of a dribble.
I'm confused. I thought it was the subsquent touch by the player last touching the ball with both hands that created the illegal dribble. So, after a two hand grab ends his/her dribble, A1 can't make a two-handed bounce pass to A2? I'm not seeing that in the rules, help please?
