Then under traveling. 4.44.3 sit.A: A1 jumps to tryfor goal. B1 also jumps and: A and b don't apply to my question. (c)touches the ball and A1 returns to the floor holding the ball; or (d) touches the ball and A1 drops it to the floor and is the first one to touch it after it bounces.Rulling (c)a traveling violation; (d) a violation for starting a dribble with your pivot foot off the floor. Since the touch did not prevent the pass or try i b,c, and d the ball remains live and subsequent action is covered by rule which apply to the sit.
Does anyone have any thoughts on these two rule and thier similarities and different rullings. Is there that big of a difference between a touch and hold is sit4.25.2 option a and b. and 4.44.3 option c and d. I hope you see where i'm comming from |
There is a big difference. And I do not see where you are coming from, because preventing someone shooting and only touching the ball and not preventing someone to shoot would be two different situations if you ask me. You are getting caught up in the language and not understanding what is actually being said.
