4.15.4 SITUATION A: As dribbler A1 attempts to change directions to avoid guard B1, he/she allows the ball to come to rest in one hand in bringing the ball from the right to the left side of the body. A1 pushes the ball to the floor in an attempt to continue the dribble. RULING: When A1 palmed/carried the ball, the dribble ended and when he/she pushed the ball to the floor a violation occurred. (9-5)
Perhaps you should send this case play to him and see what his response is.
Again I'm sure that he is a nice man who is very knowledgeable about the NFHS rules, but it is hard to defend a position that is contrary to what appears in the book in black and white.  |
And what's the call if dribbler A1 after palming the ball then
pushes the ball to the floor
AT another player?
A poorly worded case play that doesn't cover different possibilities doesn't prove a damn thing imo.
Thirteen freaking pages of this nonsense......
