Sorry, but if you don't consider the toss to be a dribble, then the action doesn't meet the definiton of player control.
If you do consider the toss to be a dribble, then there is player control, but a player cannot travel during a dribble!
Seems that your position is untenable.  |
I don't consider the toss to be a dribble as it never hit the court, referee, or opposing team's backboard. Remember I'm the one disagreed with your definition earlier that this was an illegal dribble. It's a travel.
If a player tosses the ball in the air and catches it then it is not a shot, pass, nor dribble. If a player stands in one spot and tosses the ball up in the air a few times are you can saying he used up his dribble?
