RULING:
Legal in
(a), but a
traveling
violation in (b). In (b), since the ball did not touch the floor,
the tossing and subsequent catch is illegal. (9-4)
Notice the difference from the 2007-08 Case Book version.
4.15.4 SITUATION E:
(a) A1 tosses the ball from one hand to the other while keeping his/her pivot foot in contact with the floor; or (b) A1 throws the ball over the head of B1 and then takes several steps before catching it.
RULING:
Legal in (a), but an
illegal dribble
violation in (b). In (b), since the ball did not touch the floor, the tossing and subsequent catch is an illegal
dribble
. (9-5)
I don't care for this alteration because it contradicts the principle* that a player cannot travel when he/she isn't holding the ball as the rule says--"while holding the ball..."
*with the one exception being the case book play concerning circumventing the rule about getting up from the floor with the ball, 4.44.5 Situation B
