another fumble question, dribble-shot
 
I was shooting around and doing some post moves. I dribbled and then turned for a fadeaway on the baseline. On my last dribble I went to grab the ball with both hands and fumbled the ball. So no control, but ball hits both hands. Can I dribble again?

No. Touching the ball with both hands simultaneously, ends the dribble. To start another dribble would be a violation.

No, but a good official will let you recover and shoot, or pass. :)

Or recover and request a timeout. :)

YU.P., legal but unlikely.
mutantducky, wants points, not a breather.

Get buckets, baby.

What if the player, say he has large hands, on his last dribble grabs the ball with one hand- palm down. And turns for the shot. So holding it with one and then looses the ball. Would this still be the same and no dribble?

Use the fumble scenario.
