Um, Sam....your red highlighted statement above is <b>exactly</b>, word-for-word what wanja actually wrote in his post. Not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, that's why you're confusing the hell outa me.

Anyway....I agree with both of your and wanja's identical statements.

Guess you picked a bad week to give up sniffing glue. It's not the same as what wanja wrote, b/c wanja left out the qualifying phrase "in this situation". Wanja made it sound like it was only ever possible to travel after ending a dribble. And that just ain't so.

JR,
As Chuck's quote above reads, I added "In this situation" and "After starting a dribble" to wanja's statement. I agree with Chuck.

But I won't back Chuck 100% as there are other things you could be sniffing or drinking besides glue.:D

Geeze, are you trying to set a world's record for tiniest nits?:rolleyes:

Wanja's previous sentence in his post explained the sequence he was using i.e. during dribble--->after dribble.That was his qualifier.

All we're doing now imo is probably just confusing the sh!t outa everybody....including me.

Maybe this is his problem?

Aw, that's not news. Wimmen have been doing that for years, thinking that it tightens their face and gets rid of wrinkles.

Personally, I think that it's just where some of them get their sh!tty outlook on life.

So, um, if it's applied with one foot in the frontcourt and one foot in the backcourt?...

Oops, wrong thread.

I think we need the O.P. to come back and better explain his/her scenario. I know (from personal experience) that sometimes what I want to describe and what actually gets typed are two different things. My take was they were asking if there's a restriction on the number of "steps" that can be taken while dribbling - which we all know there isn't.

If you rest the ball in your hand while running like this: palming.

So you can dribble and you havn't travelled, but you have still commited a violation.

Actually, it is effectively a travel and a carry/palming at the same time. Palming can be viewed as the end of a dribble.

At one time, just a few years ago, the call of "Palming" was removed and we were given the option of travel or illegal dribble. No action was made legal or illegal by this change, just the name of it changed. The violation was either a travel (if the feet moved while the ball was being palmed) or an illegal dribble (if the feet didn't move and the ball was again dribbled).

Because fans/coaches were so accustomed to seeing the palming/carry signal, it was quite confusing to have a "carry" signaled with a traveling signal or illegal dribble signal. The NFHS restored the carry signal to more clearly indicate the call.

No dis-agreement here.

Funny story...after the birth of our third son, my wife had some serious hemi problems going on, so the doctor gave her some prescription ointment. She left it on the sink one day, and our oldest son, who was three at the time, thought it was the toothpaste...after calling the poison control center and making sure he was OK, we had a good laugh watching him poking and pulling on his cheeks because they were so numb...sigh - oh for the good old days!

Yeah, I can just see you, the kid & the grandkids all sitting around the Thanksgiving table..."hey little one, did ol' grandad ever tell you about the time your father ate a big gobb-full of Preparation H???!"

He's gonna love that! :D

ChuckElias Fri Oct 06, 2006 03:27pm

Not quite as funny as Preparation H, but. . .

My daughter once left a glue stick out after doing an artsy project. A member of my family found it and thought it was Chap Stick, applying it directly to the lips. This caused uncontrollable laughter from <s>his wife</s>, I mean, another family member.
