I had the same thing (and used the same reference) as Jurassic.

BNR, did you send your answers in yet?

Oops, I'll go back and correct it. Yes, it was 9-7.1c

Nope, I'll send it in tomorrow. I'm not getting anymore games this season so I'm not too concerned about being a day late.

If the question was intentionally throwing the ball off of the defensive player and the rule that is quoted says it the player cannot dribble again unless there was a pass or fumble touched by another player, wouldn't that conclude that this is a violation?

Without looking at the rule book, I would logically conclude that it is a violation for starting a second dribble.

Using whose logic? Old Schools's?

The rule is cited above. The rule says that it ISN'T a violation. The NFHS case play cited is the exact same play and that says that it isn't a violation.

Could you explain logically your reasons why you think that it is a violation?

How could you possibly conclude that? The "intentionally throwing it at another player" is a pass. Didn't you read the case book play cited? It's exactly the same situation.

For those that think it is a violation: would you call it a violation if a player threw the ball off a defender to keep from going out of bounds or get out of a trap? How would it be legal to throw the ball off a player to keep from going out of bounds, but illegal to do the same thing and then dribble? What about throwing it off a defender on the throw in and going to get it?
