I regards to the 1st post, I had a kid get a T this year for bouncing the ball to hard after a Traveling call. Kid picked up his dribble, and well his momentum carried him forward. Everyone in the gym saw it, no big deal, other than the kid was mad at himself. He dribbled the ball hard to himself..Looked no different than a power dribble from a post player. The ball got up to his chest, he caught it, looked at the referee and was getting ready to had the ball over when he hit his whistle. The explanation i got was that they told the captains that they would no tolerate bouncing the ball like that. Oh well, we live and we learn.
