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?

I would have a double dribble if he picked up that ball.

If it had not dribbled, that would be his one legal 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.

since when can we pass to ourselves. who needs team mates if I can toss it to myself allday. lol

There is no such thing as a pass to yourself. It's either a pass or a dribble.

If you wouldn't let him dribble again (a statement with which I agree), then you're judging this action to be a dribble. So, the answers to your two follow-up questions are clear.

There are a few others you'll see sometimes as well:
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

A guy named Jurassic Referee used to use STFU. What does that mean?

Nope, it's for Yankees that want to go to college in South Texas. Color doesn't don't matter, nor does it matter if you're American. If you ain't from Texas, you're yer a foreigner.
