Illegal Dribble

It's not legal, if the first bat was the beginning of a dribble. I don't have a book reference, but I'm sure I'm right. I think it's similar to having the ball hit the body -- the player has to then let the ball hit the floor again, before touching it again with the hand. [/B][/QUOTE]The dribble started with the first bat- Rule 4-15-1. Then the language in casebook play 4.15.4SitD(a) spells out the violation- "Violation in (a) because the ball was touched twice by A1's hand(s) during a dribble before it touched the floor". You use the same rationale as this casebook play for Nevada's example.
