Tip-In

hungt · #1 (**permalink**) Mon Jun 27, 2005, 11:41pm

Last week playing basketball, my teammate shoot the ball and missed, I tried to tip it in but miss everything. With nobody touching the ball, I went up for another tip. The other team called it a violation. Is this true? If so, is it traveling or double dribble?

If you were playing in the NBA, it would be traveling.

But it's perfectly legal under HS and college rules.

A tip is considered an attempt. With an attempt there is no control like BBR stated legal.

truerookie,
95% of the folks here understand what you think you meant to say.
And, too, BBR did not state what you wrote he stated.
Re-read what you think you wrote and re-think it.
You don't want to be a rook forever.

Mick, Rookie's post need punctuation, but I think you're putting in in the wrong spot.

Not being fully versed in the nuances of the NBA rule...is this really true in this case?

A1 shoots. Miss. A2 tips the ball (towards the goal) but misses everything. A2 again tips the ball towards the goal (or catches the ball).

You say it would be traveling.

Is it possible to travel without ever having player control? On a tip, there is no player control. In fact, a player may legally tip the ball one or more times before securing the ball. Is a tip towards the basket any different?

If it is so, then much rebounding action would be a travel in the NBA....player takes two touches to secure the ball.

Legal all around. Can't be a travel without player control, and in the play described the ball was never secured and brought back to the floor.Player jumps to tip in a missed shot, misses everything and outjumps opponents to retip his own miss. Nothing illegal about the play (except for the fact that he/she missed everything

).
