stewcall A1 dribbles, then stops, pivots on on one foot, now fumbles...recovers own fumble after going 6 feet to retrieve the ball. So far all legal... Can A1 now pivot? Stew in VA CVBOA
JRutledge Yes. There is nothing against the rule that do not allow a player to gain possession of the ball or establish a pivot foot after gaining possession. You just cannot dribble after a fumble. Now understand a fumble means the ball handler lost possession of the ball on their own. Not just the ball being knocked away from you. Peace
