Starting Dribble from floor
Had this situation this weekend. A1 dives to the floor for loose ball, coach yells, "You can dribble to get up!". Player starts a dribble and lifts a foot off the ground simultaneously, and then fully stands up while continuing to dribble. My partner calls an illegal dribble, which drives the coach and several fans in the stands absolutely berserk. Her explanation was that according to the handbook, a pivot foot must be established before you can start a dribble. I've never heard the rule applied in this context before, and I've never heard of a player not being able to dribble in order to stand up. Anyone have anything to prove/disprove the validity of her call??

Starting Dribble from floor
I've never heard of that rule either. The definition of a travel speaks of releasing the ball before the pivot foot is lifted, but that assumes that the player is already standing.
You could also catch a pass while airborne and start a dribble before any foot touched the floor. A pivot foot does not need to be established before a dribble starts. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Last edited by DrPete; Sat Jan 16, 2016 at 11:51pm. |

4.44.5b and c. Player dives for losse ball. When he is done sliding and ends on back or stomach he can, pass,shoot or start dribble. If on back he can sit up.

So, I guess one interp would be that if there is no pivot foot to be potentially lifted, there can be no dribble. But, that interp would be wrong. |

I've never seen or heard of this rule screwed up(Not letting a player start a dribble before getting up). First for everything. |

4.44.5 SITUATION B: A1 dives for a loose ball and slides after gaining control. A1 is in a position either on his/her back or stomach. What can A1 do without violating? RULING: A1 may pass, shoot, start a dribble or call a time-out. Once A1 has the ball and is no longer sliding, he/she may not roll over. If flat on his/her back, A1 may sit up without violating. Any attempt to get to the feet is traveling unless A1 is dribbling. It is also traveling if A1 puts the ball on the floor, then rises and is first to touch the ball. (4-44-5b)
