Why or Why not?

[Jimgolf]

For some historical perspective, before dribbling was invented, back in the days of peach baskets and center jumps after every basket, rolling the ball was the first means used by players trying to get around the original rules restriction that a player could only pass or shoot the ball. Once dribbling was allowed in 1910, rolling the ball became rare. However, IMHO, it fits all the definitions of dribbling and should be officiated accordingly.
