No, but I may have stated my point poorly.

I have seen this called a violation as well and always wondered if I was missing something. Similarly, a great many coaches (and some officials) think the following is a double dribble:

A1 is dribbling in the front court. A1 grabs the ball with both hands and attempts a pivot. B1 slaps the ball, causing it to fall from the hands of A1. A1 reaches out and regains control by starting a dribble.

Is it me? This is not a double dribble as a defender knocked the ball free.

I've never heard a coach complain about this in HS. At least, I don't remember!

I haven't either, but i had a partner (one who had worked several state tourneys) as lead call it when it was right in front of me at the division line. I tried to tell him that the defender knocked it free but he insisted it was a double dribble so we went with it.
