When you announce after popping your whistle and holding/extending up your open hand--do you'all announce it as "carrying" or "double dribble" whichever the case may be--or do you announce it simply as "illegal dribble" ? And then move on without explaining to an inquiring coach or player the precise violation?
For myself, I have this season been making a point to announce "illegal dribble", then move on--often leaving coaches and players [and dare I say fans] wondering what the exact violation was. I have come to believe that announcing such violations as "illegal dribble" is the most concise verbage despite it being non-vernacular.
Just curious here?  |
Considering you are describing 2 different actions for which we have 2 different mechanics to convey the specificity of the violation. I personally use "carrying" and "double dribble". There are many ways that the dribble can end, and yes the resulting violation is an illegal dribble, but we have mechanics to better describe what was done.
