He didn't move from the spot or attempt to get up. No violation.

Nope. Technically, I guess he was moving AT the spot (i.e. rocking side to side) but he didn't go anywhere.

He was switching his pivot-cheek, Mark. (I know, it sounds like a violation of some sort, beyond basketball, at least ...)

I regards to the 1st post, I had a kid get a T this year for bouncing the ball to hard after a Traveling call. Kid picked up his dribble, and well his momentum carried him forward. Everyone in the gym saw it, no big deal, other than the kid was mad at himself. He dribbled the ball hard to himself..Looked no different than a power dribble from a post player. The ball got up to his chest, he caught it, looked at the referee and was getting ready to had the ball over when he hit his whistle. The explanation i got was that they told the captains that they would no tolerate bouncing the ball like that. Oh well, we live and we learn.

Amesman,
If I were you, I, too, would still be *awaiting for further development*.
Good call.

For the record, I concur with mick.

Had a similar situation like this in a boys JV game last night. It was kinda weird as the player was sitting there, legs extended for what seemed like an extended period of time looking for someplace to go with the ball. My partner and I held our whistles. The player eventually got rid of the ball.....but, the pass was stolen and we went the other way. :p
