travel
rule book, page 74, line 6 says it is not possible to travel during a dribble...if i have the ball on the dribble and run 10 steps before i put the ball down again, is this not a travel while dribbling....i'm confused..

If you take 10 steps before you put the ball down, you have not started a dribble. It is that simple.
Rule 4-15 says: A dribble is ball movement caused by the player in control who bats (intentionally strikes the ball in the hand(s)) or pushes the ball to the floor once or several times. You cannot have a dribble until this happens. Peace |
It is not a travel to take multiple steps during a dribble between touches. Only when the dribble ends (e.g. the ball comes to rest in the hand) is a travel possible.

While you have the rule book, read the section that covers travelling. |
As long as your hand is not on the ball while you are taking those 10 steps you are fine. The likelyhood of a defender not taking the ball during those 10 steps is very slim. Jr's post pretty much says it all. I'm eating while I do this and got beat to the reply.

If you took the ball between your hand and held it with both hands: travle, you're dribbel has ended If you hold the ball "in your hand" not resting it in your palm, I don't belive it really covers if this is an illegal dribble or palming but I'd call palming. 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. |
Clips, forget steps. The definition of the dribble states that the ball doesn't come to rest in one or both hands during the dribble- rule 4-15-4. Iow, the player is not holding the ball during his dribble; there's no possession. The definition of traveling states that traveling can only occur while a player is actually holding the ball.
If a player ends his dribble by holding the ball, then the foot restrictions of traveling will come into play---not before. |

He referenced multiple steps <b>during</b> a dribble and also talked about the <b>end</b> of the dribble. He didn't say diddly about what happened preceding the dribble. His answer looked OK to me. What am I missing? |

The first statement is correct. The second one is not. As I read it, is states that you can only travel after dribbling the ball. Perhaps I am being more selective that you might, but I would have agreed with the following statements: In this situation, only when the dribble ends (e.g. the ball comes to rest in the hand) is a travel possible. or After starting a dribble, only when the dribble ends (e.g. the ball comes to rest in the hand) is a travel possible. |

While I don't consider it part of my function to grade or score every post, I am comfortable correcting posts that I read that seem incorrect to me if I choose. I have learned by my posts being corrected or questioned. Side note - Why is it that regardless where I put the "w", "answer" doesn't look correct until I check the dictionary. |
