Players do this all the time without having control. Those times when a teammate makes a not so good pass and the reciever of the pass has to stretch out to get the ball, many times they bounce the ball, but I would not consider that a dribble (I hope this description made sense ). But this is why we get paid the big bucks. Your judgment has to come into play. I always try to give the benefit of the doubt when I can. But this is always going to come down to your personal judgement. This is why it is so important to see as many plays as you can. After awhile you know exactly what you are saying.

Peace
