Just a rant, really. This is a topic that I just read a question about over on the slum board. A player muffs a pass, it goes through his hands to the floor. He picks it up and dribbles away. NO CALL, NOT A DOUBLE DRIBBLE. I see my fellow officials calling this way too often. I was myself guilty of it last year, before you guys straightened me out. My girlfriend is a varsity coach and in comparing notes after last Friday night's game she questioned my knowledge of the rules. After she came to, she explained that a ref had called this on her player 3 times that night. We all miss calls, but 3 times, he obviously has a misconception about this situation.
