Case play 7.1.1 is not correct

[Kajun Ref N Texas]

Have you rediscussed this issue with your basketball meeting group? If so, what was the consensus?

If you think the case book is wrong, try this:

Think for a couple moments that the case book is right, and that a player saving the ball onto the court starts a dribble, but the dribble is "interrupted" because the ball has gotten away from the player.

If this description of "away" does not match your interpretation of "away," then consider adjusting your interpretation.

If this description of "interrupted dribble" does not match your interpretation of "interrupted dribble", then consider adjusting your interpretation.

Rather than start with the assumption of case book error, start with the assumption that a case that's been in the book for several years is correct. Just consider adjusting your understanding until it matches what's in the case book.

I will agree, however, that the case book could be more clear. I had similar doubts about this play when I read it years ago. I decided to change some of the definitions in my head, rather than attempt to change the case book.

If the committee agrees with you and changes the play, then I will change my thinking. Until then, I'll stand by the case play.
