When the rules follow certain principles, they can easily be taught and remembered. When they are unpredictable and capricious, they have to be memorized and are difficult to recall properly.

The NFHS is failing to understand that and heading down a dangerous path.

You're right. It can't be travelling, because travelling is defined as "moving the pivot foot in excess of prescribe limits while holding the ball" (paraphrased -- I'm away from my books.)

It also can't be an illegal dribble, because a dribble is defines as "batting the ball to the floor one or more times."

So, it must be a legal play.

Dangerous path? Is someone going to die as a result?
