As usual, JR's opinion is based on his unequaled knowledge of the rules. I respect this greatly. But, again, as usual, JR's opinion in this case is carried to an extreme. (I'm right, you're wrong...end of discussion) Are there cases where it is uncertain what A1's intention is when he releases the ball? Certainly there could be, in which case one might wait a little longer to let the play unfold. But there are also cases when it is quite obvious that when A1 releases the ball it is indeed a dribble, nothing else, and if he has no dribble, when this ball hits the floor it is a violation. I'm done.
