I had it called just a couple of weeks back when my player was just standing over half court with a lazy dribble waiting for the offense to set up. She gets sloppy with the ball at times, and I try to work with her on this. Not the ref's fault, it's the player's issue. Call it when and where it happens and they'll stop doing it. It helps me if the refs call it the way I tell my players in practice that it's going to be called.

Dr. C - like my lazy dribbler, these habits are hard to break. If everyone calls it, it will stop. But if they only get it called in one game, they can't break years of bad habits.

Hawks Coach,
I agree, with a penalty for nonchalance the player will improve.
