Am I to assume you would call a double dribble when a player is attempting to gain control, he intercepts a pass by reaching out with one hand and pushes it to the floor, then grabs it with two hands and starts his dribble? [/B]

If he pushed it to the floor first with one hand then yes, it would be double dribble. If the ball merely hit his hand fell to the floor and he picked it up, I would call that a fumble and allow the dribble. Throwing a similar scenario back at you, what if he intercepts a pass, pushes the ball to the floor then when the ball comes back up he pushes the ball to the floor again, then picks it up with both hands and starts to dribble? Would you not call double dribble? What's the difference between your scenario and that one?
