Was this a correct no call?? From what I observed he knew he was going OOB and sort of pushed the ball forward towards the division line and then stepped OOB. His teammate then grabbed the ball and continued up the court.
I know the book says even though a ball handler is not in contact with the ball if he has possession of a dribble and steps OOB, it is OOB.
Thanks

Since it was next touched by a teammate, it was a pass rather than a dribble. You may have to be patient to see which it is in plays like this. Iff A1 had retured inbounds to continue the dribble, it "might" be a violation. You then have to decide if it was an interrupted dribble (not a violation) or not (violation).
