(4) A1 in the post ( w/o a previous dribble ) dribbles the ball w/two hands and then picks it up to attempt a 'shot' - Legal? I say 'yes'...a few have stated that this is a 'double-dribble' - wrong !
Can't have a double dribble (aka, illegal dribble) without the ball bouncing at least twice. And then, it only become illegal if one of the touches BETWEEN two of the bounces ends the dribble...touching it with two hands, catching it, etc. There are no restrictions on how many hands the dribble can be started or ended with.
