Interrupted Dribble Three Seconds ???

[Idaho]

Rule 4-something (somewhere in the "t" section ) states that team control does not end during an interrupted dribble.

So, technically, yes it can be called although I'm wondering what the practical application of the rule is by most people.

After the whole pre-game dunk T convo I'm scared to find out!!!

I started to write a long explanation as to Advantage / disadvantage... but decided I would wait.

4-12-2 -- alphabetically it comes under "c" for Control, player and team.


This is probably the best current rule reference.

I've called this. A1 dribbles into the lane, and about two seconds after he gets there, the dribble gets interrupted.

Usually, when I call 3 seconds, the player has the ball. This time, it was bouncing around and A1 was still trying to get the ball while in the lane. I gave him an extra second or so before I called it.

this is usually about the time that the place goes nuts and the coach pulls his hair out and screams "he didn't have control!!!".....but agreed, I have called it many times.....

Yup, coach said something about the count terminating in an I-D. I didn't get a chance to tell him we weren't playing by 2001 rules.
