Dribble fumble dribble?

I believe the adage I learned is that "you can fumble, dribble, fumble, but you can't dribble, fumble, dribble".

Oh No! I just realized that when Padgett wakes up on the west coast and sees this post, he is going to have a field day.

It's too late now. Perhaps he has taken his meds today.

It's not even 7:30 out there yet. I doubt if he's even found his meds.

I'm sure he got up a little bit ago though to take his hourly potty break. Maybe he lined 'em up before bed last night or during one of his breaks *shrug*

I think we've all seen the fumble during the dribble, in this case the player recovers the dribble without stopping his dribble. clear as mud?

By definition, there can be no fumble during a dribble.

Would calling it a "loss of control" during the dribble keep the player from a violation

A loss of control during a dribble is an interrupted dribble. In this case the player may recover the ball and continue the dribble.

By "recover", do you mean that the player can catch the ball (hold it)?

Obviously not. That would end the dribble. But you knew that.

Well, I asked because the word "recover", when used on tests, generally means to catch the ball. I didn't really think that's what you meant, but just wanted to clarify.

But you knew that.

I thought about that, but when used with the phrase "and continue the dribble," I thought this would get the message across.
