My question is, a player dribbling the ball and the ball hits a plart of that players body.
Example
A. player A driving up court and the ball hits him in the hip so that in essence the players body is under the ball. Carry? Double dribble?
B. female player bringing the ball up court. Ball bounces high enough that the ball hits her in the chest and literally rolls off her breast, at which point she "continues" her dribble. DD? Carry?

All of your examples above are legal.They are fumbles.

Actually, Jurassic, I've got some questions about this. My understanding is that once the ball hits the body, it has to hit the floor again before the player "bats" it with his hand. So it's not illegal in itself, but also isn't meaningless. Maybe a better way to say it is that the hit by the body counts as a "bat", and there can only be one "bat" per floor-bounce. Am I incorrect about this?
