A1 standing with the ball, never having dribbled.

Are you going to let him dribble again?

No I would not let him dribble again.

But if he had already dribbled - would that have been a double dribble if he picked it up?

And had he not dribbled - do you have anything?

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.

IIRC - If I recall correctly
AFAIK - As far as I know
YMMV - Your mileage may vary
OP - Original post, original poster
LOL - Laughing out loud
IOW - In other words
