Just sharing.

The big wigs aren't correct and are doing a disservice to the game by allowing a player to gain an unfair advantage.
Batting the ball during a dribble, which clearly has not ended at this point and won't until the player catches the ball, and then moving to a new location and catching the ball before it strikes the floor is what used to be called an air dribble. That action is now illegal. The ball must contact the floor for the action to constitute a legal dribble.

Does anybody else remember that play? Nevada? Tony?
