Why is his partner's reasoning incorrect?

i dont see whether its their basket or not should matter. its an illegal dribble if the ball comes to rest in their palm so what does the basket matter?

Whatinthehell are you talking about?

It's not an illegal dribble if the ball comes to rest in their palm. It has NEVER been an illegal dribble if the ball comes to rest in their palm. It also NEVER will be an illegal dribble when the ball comes to rest in their palm.

The dribble ENDS when the ball comes to rest in their palm. Rule 4-15-4. It is NOT a violation to end a dribble, deecee. After the dribble ends, they can't dribble a second time. That is a violation.

Methinks you should save your sarcasm until you actually learn some rules that you can be sarcastic with.

We have had this particular discussion concerning which board several times on here...have you not read these discussions?

If the answer is no, do a search, if the answer is yes and you still don't see the distinct difference hang up your whistle

OK, I’m going to go out on a limb here. But, isn’t “throwing” the ball at your own backboard considered a try? In which case, team control is lost and then when the player catches the ball, he/she is considered to be rebounding the ball.
However, bouncing the ball off the opponent’s basket is considered a dribble. Correct??

Sweet and to the point.
Many years ago the McDonalds High School All-Star game was player in St. Louis. and this play of throwing the ball off the backboard, catching and dunking was a play in the game. No violation then... no violation now.

Yes.

so then whats the distinction between a pass hitting the rim and no reset of the shot clock? but as far as rules go yes I am not the most knowledgeable and if i am wrong here which it seems then so be it -- good job JR.

As far as I can tell, there's a distinction only because there is.

This distinction happens in other aspects as well. When a player shoots an airball, he may retrieve the rebound. Yet, it does not reset the shot clock. Same distinction, same principal, same rules.
