This kind of reminds me of debates about endline/baseline, call/request timeouts, etc.

bob jenkins states that "the player can't dribble the ball. A dribble can only be performed by a player in control, and there's no PC or TC during an inbounds pass". The NFHS definition seems to support him, while the Webster definition counts against him. And then there's the NFHS caseplay where a player "dribbles the ball on floor on the out-of-bounds area". By the strict, limited, NFHS definition of dribbling, he's not dribbling, or is he?

So, let's say that a player dribbles the ball on the floor on the out of bounds area behind the baseline and then calls timeout. What's the call?
