Using the body to control the dribble
I have been watching more game film then ever as I have moved up the ladder. I am noticing a lot of bad dribblers start to lose the ball and the ball contacts their legs and it helps them maintain the dribble. Yet there is no violation called. Is that because it is legal or no one likes to call it? I would like to hear some opinions.
Thanks in advance |
What specific act are you asking is illegal and which violation do you think should apply?

I am dribbling between my legs and start to lose it use my leg to push it back to my left hand to continue the dribble. I am looking through the book to find something on this. I know people have called an illegal dribble when using hips, thighs, etc to help dribble or control the ball. Cant remember why this is sometimes called and sometimes not. That is why I wanted to start this discussion. |

I wouldn't overthink this. Ask yourself, "did the dribble end?" and go from there. |

Another might be that the dribble has ended and a second dribble has restarted. What parts of "dribble ending" do you think might apply? |

When I was playing back in the early 80's, I recall it being called double dribble because the leg or hip was a second touch between bounces -- for those who've been around since Naismith, was that ever the right call?

Would we have a kicking violation if we deem the contact with the leg to be on purpose?
