Ok. Had somebody send this to me. What do you guys think. Will post my answer later. By the way crew and eroe39 cannot answer either, as I have already sent them via email. You two guys can answer after we've had some responses. Here it goes:

Referee is in trail and in the last minute of the first half and team A is holding for last shot...Team B does not come out to challenge Team A that is holding out front near midcourt line...so the guard for Team A puts the ball down on the floor, leaves it there, and proceeds to walk around leisurely for 15 seconds or so before going back to the
ball, picking it up and dribbling to initiate the last play...

Officials call nothing, and after the game, they disagree with what the right call would be...

WHAT DO YOU HAVE ON THIS??

Without consulting the book, this is nothing, I think. Putting the ball on the floor isn't the start of a dribble, so it's not a double dribble. When he walks around the ball, he doesn't have control, so it's not a travel. It's dumb, but I don't think it's illegal.

I have a T on Team B's head coach. He's cursing profanely at his players for not going after the ball!

Other than that, I agree with Chuck. I have nothing.

Ever think there might be a good reason why we haven't had a GPS in a long time?

BTW, I agree. (With the exception of 7 T's - one to B's head coach, then 1 to A1 and 1 each to B1-5 for playing without required equipment, i.e., their brains!)

O.K. I'm lost here. Where does the longitude and latitude of the player come into play here. I saw GPS and got excited since I just bought a new Global Positioning System and wanted to try it out.

Shucks, Rut. Thanks for being so concerned for my feelings.

I am only guessing that the player released the ball to the floor and then picked it up to end his dribble, and then illegally dribbled again.

Isn't this basically passing the ball to yourself? I'm with mick but I'm not sure I would be able to explain it.

This happened in my son's middle school game last year. The ball handler set the ball on the floor to tie his shoe. The defense couldn't come out past the three point line to get the ball. The ref even kept the ball from rolling away for the kid. The clock just kept on ticking...

Section 18. Dribble
Art. 1. A dribble is ball movement caused by a player in control who bats, pushes or taps the ball to the playing court once or several times.

Art. 4. The dribble ends when:
a. The dribbler catches or carries/palms the ball by allowing it to
come to rest in one or both hands.

1st, its not a travel b/c he's not holding the ball.

Now we get to the difinitions of a dribble, which brings us to the difinition of PUSHING THE BALL to the floor. By difinition a PUSH implies the application of force... Key word FORCE. Setting the ball on the floor does not take force b/c of gravity. So, i have a no call.

Was he dribbling before he put the ball down? Or did he just get a pass?
