When does team control begin?
4-12-2-A: A team is in control of the ball: When a player of the team is in control.
OK. When does a player gain control?
4-12-1: A player is in control of the ball when he is holding or dribbling a live ball inbounds.
OK. When does a player start a dribble?
4-15-1: A dribble is ball movement caused by a player in control who bats (intentionally strikes the ball with the hand) or pushes the ball to the floor once or several times.
Questions? Do you have to have control first to start a dribble with a bat? Or does the bat to start a dribble establish control? Someone passes him the ball and instead of catching it, he bats it to the floor? Can you bat a ball into the air to start a dribble? How does one distinguish a bat into the air that is a dribble, versus a bat into the air that's a shot, versus a bat into the air that's a pass, like maybe a pass into the backcourt? Does one have to read minds to determine intent?
Anybody got an aspirin?
