Double Dribble Question
Cannot find the thread, I know I have read this here before. Need some help with an interpretation....
Player A is dribbling the ball low to the the ground and the ball stops bouncing. Player A proceeds to tap the ball to restart his dribble. Does this violate Rule 9-5-3 "A player shall not dribble a second time after his/her dribble has ended, unless.....? I believe I have answered my own question, but I would like the input from the prestigious group. Thanks |

A dribble ends when the ball is picked up, palmed or carried, touched with both hands, or touched by an opponent in a way that the dribbler loses control of the ball. If none of these happened, then the actions of Player A, as described, are not illegal.

Can someone clarify how the fumble rule comes into play. If you considered the ball coming to a rest on the ground due to a fumble, then resuming the dribble as described would not be permitted correct?

Correct: you can fumble-dribble-fumble, but you cannot dribble-fumble-dribble.

(IOW, is this a dribble-fumble-dribble, or is it just an interrupted dribble?) |

HokiePaul offered the ball "coming to rest" as a result of a fumble. As I picture it, I don't see the "coming to rest" as still part of the fumble or of an interrupted dribble.
My comment was not about the OP, but only to HokiePaul's question, which added a fumble to the scenario. |

The definition of fumble is to slip from a player's grasp....from holding the ball. So, if the player had been dribbling prior to the fumble, a fumble, by definition, means that dribble had ended. While the player may legally recover the fumble, the player may not start a new dribble unless someone else touched the ball during the fumble.
