What would be the correct violation call on a player who jumps then starts a dribble?

If the pivot foot is lifted before releasing the ball to start a dribble, it is a traveling violation.

Would the "drop" constitute a dribble? He didn't push it or tap it. He literally (intentionally) dropped it. He had not used his dribble prior to this pass/drop.

Anything?

Assuming that the Duke big man had already dribble and this was said to be legal since dropping the ball can be considered the start of a dribble?

But, what if the Duke big man had already killed his dribble ... Could he pick it up then?

In case your question was not rhetorical the answer is "no."

Johnny Ringo Thu Dec 04, 2008 03:18pm

No he was handing it off (passing it IMO)...

dbking Thu Dec 04, 2008 03:56pm

Not a double dribble....

A dribble is a control push or bat of the ball towards the floor.

If he passed it and was fast enough to get the pass, he can retrieve.

If he dropped the ball, he can pick up even after dribble.

In neither case can he dribble again though...

Anyone can pick up a loose ball.

Not true. Anyone can pick up a fumble. There's a difference.

NO!! NO!! NO!! NO!! NO!! NO!! NO!! NO!! NO!! NO!!


With apologies to the late J. Dallas Shirley, always give the benefit of the doubt to the player when he is trying to gain control of the ball in this situation. I am not saying that it is not possible for a player to gain control of the ball through the action of swatting of the ball as you describe, but the probablity of it is very, very, very, very small.

P.S. AKOFL: My emphasis was not specifically intended for you but for the coaches and officials who lurk in the shadows of this Forum and will rule this an illegal dribble everytime. This year at the OhioHSAA State Rules Meetings this exact play was shown to everybody. It occured during the State Finals a few years ago and was ruled an illegal dribble. What made it worse was the State Rules Interpreter at the meeting at which I saw the tape thought it was the correct call.

Johnny Ringo Thu Dec 04, 2008 04:08pm

Did anyone see this play?

Was it correctly called?

what?

Spence Thu Dec 04, 2008 05:12pm

So do we all agree that the "drop" constitutes a dribble?

Johnny Ringo Thu Dec 04, 2008 05:57pm

according to dbking's post ... that would be no.

Adam Thu Dec 04, 2008 06:18pm

Personally, I think it does constitute a dribble.

A1 standing with the ball, never having dribbled.
He drops the ball so that it bounces, takes a step and picks the ball up off the bounce with both hands.

Are you going to let him dribble again?
