A fumble is the accidental loss of player control when the ball unintentionally drops or slips from a player's grasp.
The reason for this definition is time after time at games I attend officials are getting this call WRONG! Situation: player picks up his dribble and drops the ball-BOOM double dribble called by the official.
What criteria do you use to determine what is a fumble and what is another dribble. To me it is pretty obvious, officials who call this don't know the rules. I saw this called in the State Tournament last year and cringed in my seat. I can't believe that coaches let this call go with no challenge as well.
