Jinxed ...
Agree. For me it's no longer about getting the interpretation correct on my list, but it's now about getting the interpretation correct when it happens in my game.

Literal Interpretation ...

However, I believe that both JRutledge and I are on the same page in terms of the illegality of dropping the ball intentionally, and the legality of unintentionally fumbling the ball and recovering it.

Illegal: He moved his pivot foot before starting a dribble. Legal: One can always pick up a fumble.

Two Different Interpretations ...
Because we have two different interpretations.

Trust But Verify ...
When both Raymond and Camron Rust disagree with me, I have to take pause.

Split Foot Travel ..

Again, JRutledge is 100% correct in his literal interpretation of the rule. By the time the play registers in my mind and I sound my whistle the ball has usually bounced off the floor and back into the player's hand. Could it have been the start of a bounce pass, sure, I guess, but JRutledge is right in his contention that experienced officials have enough good judgment to differentiate between the start of a bounce pass and the start of a dribble. Context is everything. If I'm unsure, I can wait a second and be sure.

There are gaps and blind spots in the rules where differing interpretations can be justified.
Knowing how to explain one's particular interpretation requires communication skills and knowledge of the rule & case books. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

If that's what he is saying, then I can agree with him, and this controversial situation will remain off of my list. Stupid NFHS.

Purpose And Intent ...
If this happens in my next game, and I hope that it doesn't, I'm calling it like this:

The problem is that there is no rule that says anything about a player always being able to pick up a fumble but there is a rule that says a player only has two options once he/she jumps. This is not unlike the situation where a player throws the ball off his/her own backboard....it is treated as if it were a try for most purposes even though it actually isn't a try since the player wasn't actually trying to throw the ball into the basket. Consider also the case where a player lying on the floor sits the ball down, gets up while not holding the ball, then picks up the ball. This is considered a travel. Why? It is deemed that the player is circumventing the intended rules. The fumble on a try is essentially the same thing. Players will make it appear to be a fumble to circumvent the rules once they go airborne and find they have nowhere to go. Once they jump, they have two options by rule: pass or shoot. Anything else is considered a de facto dribble.
