Another Myth Bites The Dust ...
Palming or carrying is when a player gains an advantage when the ball comes to rest in the player's hand, and the player either travels with the ball, or dribbles a second time. There is no restriction as to how high a player may bounce the ball, provided the ball does not come to rest in a player’s hand. Steps taken during a dribble are not traveling, including several that are sometimes taken when a high dribble takes place. It is not possible for a player to travel during a dribble.

Why is this not a part of 9-5-3? Does it say in either book that the second touch is a violation other than the references to batting the ball in the air or over the opponent's head? |
Quote:
Perhaps they put the reference in the definitions because they felt it had to do with what you can and cannot do during a dribble. At least they didn't put it in Rule 1 - Court and Equipment, right? ;) |

After the start of a dribble, these acts are illegal. But to start a dribble, pending restricted foot movement, these acts are probably legal. |

HC: "she travelled when she was dribbling" R: "well, if she was dribbling how could she travel?" HC: (flustered) "That's not what I meant!" Crew chief said she was lending a sympathetic ear until that exchange. I could only laugh. In the same game this HC tells the U2 (from my assoc.) that he needs to let the girls play. Then 3 or 4 plays later I'm in front of the HC and he starts complaining for me not to "swallow my whistle". |
