RULING: Legal. The dribble does not start until A1 has gained control.
Legal under NCAA rules also.
Camron gave the correct rationale.
Think of the play where A1 passes to A2 and A2 tips the ball to the floor without gaining possession and then dribbles away. A2 never established a pivot foot. Would you really call this traveling?  |
You are absolutely right. I apologize for being wrong!
