Fun With An Illegal Dribble ...
Is this an illegal dribble? Observe the play and make a determination if the ball handler committed an illegal dribble violation.
https://storage.googleapis.com/refqu...VK5hUVSWDh.mp4 Two choices: This is an illegal dribble. This is not an illegal dribble. My comment: This is an illegal dribble. Illegal dribble or palming/carrying. Six of one, half dozen of the other. |
I do not see more than a handshake, so no I do not have an illegal or palming call.

The ball is in the dribbler's hands going froward (toward the endline) and then goes toward the middle of the lane. Violation.

Thought I Heard It All ...

Been around basketball for almost fifty-five years. Thought I heard it all. Wrong. Yesterday. Kid throws up a crazy three pointer that ricochets really hard off the backboard and rockets through the basket. As I'm signaling the successful three, going from tableside old trail to new lead, I pass the coach who says to me, "It's before five o'clock. The bank's open". How have I come this far without ever hearing that? |
Time Out ...
Quote:
Easy peasy lemon squeezy. I grant the timeout. Big mistake. It's not the head coach. It's his adult male scorekeeper (table not centered on the court, it's closer to home bench) advising the head coach that he should call a "time out". Lazy. I know better. Live and learn. Picked a good time to screw up, it wasn't a very close game. Won't ever happen again to me. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, double shame on me. |

I have an illegal dribble that affects the play. He intends push the ball to the floor in one direction and then changes direction of the ball while the ball is still in his hand.
Now reading through the thread, I see Bob saw the same thing I did and has the same logic for calling a violation. Always listen to Bob. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk |
IAABO Survey Says …

https://storage.googleapis.com/refqu...VK5hUVSWDh.mp4 IAABO International Play Commentary: Correct Answer: This is an illegal dribble. Green #23 executes a "crossover" dribble to maneuver past the primary defender to get into the lane to attempt a try. As he begins this move, the ball comes to rest in his right hand, and he "carries" the ball across his body to the left before dropping the ball and continuing to dribble. The dribble ends when the dribbler allows the ball to come to rest in one or both hands. When he dribbles again, it is considered an illegal dribble. A dribbler can execute this move legally by keeping his/her hand on top of the ball as they push the ball to the floor. This illegal move is fairly common in our game, and you rarely see a violation ruled for this infraction. 65% of respondents correctly identified this as a violation. How many of you would actually make the ruling on the court? Here is the breakdown of the IAABO members that commented on the video: This is an illegal dribble 65% (including me); This is not an illegal dribble 35%. |
Palming Or Carrying ???

If one is going to differentiate between palming and carrying, then be consistent, otherwise just "lump" them together in one signal that most understand to be two different violations (illegal dribble, traveling). https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...51eb950c_m.jpg |
I felt it was a well-executed crossover dribble. Did it push the limits of legality? Yes, but in my opinion virtually all behind-the-back dribbles while driving toward the basket involve a greater appearance of "cupping or carrying" the ball from one side of the body around to the other side than this crossover dribble. Has anyone seen or called a behind-the-back dribble a violation?
