If a player does not make an effort to grab the ball, you cannot have possession (unless you rule they have started a legal dribble of course). [/B][/QUOTE]Ah,you finally do understand the rule now.If you had added that phrase "unless you rule that they have started a legal dribble of course" in your original statement,it would have been correct instead of wrong.That was my point,and I'm glad that you finally can see that.

Uhmmm...well...no....any idiot can say "If a player does not make an effort to grab the ball, you cannot have possession" but of course he would be wrong. There is no requirement for a player to
grab or
make an effort go grab the ball to obtain possession. All you need to do is hold it or dribble it in bounds while the ball is live.
