Illegal dribble or not?
I was trying to find if this is an Illegal dribble or not. I was watching sports center about 3 weeks ago and I saw a play where A1 recieved an imbounds pass in his backcourt and shot at the opposing teams basket, missed, got his own rebound and continued that for about 4 missed shots before his teamate rebounded for him and dribbled up to the front court.
I know that the rule is that when you stop your dribble and then use the opposing teams basket and you get your own rebound it is considered a second dribble and is illegal. But there was no dribble just a catch and several shots off the opposing teams backboard. I feel that the officials missed the call of an illegal dribble but I'm not sure even after looking in the rule book and case play books.
What say you?
