Violation?!
A1 dribbling towards the frontcourt with a loose man-to-man press being applied by B1. A1 stops, the ball bounces up towards A1's hands, he touches it with both hands but muffs it (he was looking up court as he tried to catch the ball). The ball falls to the floor and without moving either foot, A1 picks it up. Violation?
I've got nothing play on. The dribble ended when he touched the ball with both hands. He subsequently fumbled the ball and he may pick up the fumble. Hot topic on Friday with myself and a senior official. -Josh |
Fumble. However, he can not begin a second dribble after regaining control.
|
Guess I should add that immediately after A1 regained control, my C whistled *Double Dribble*
-Josh |
Figured as much. It's his judgment if it's a fumble or second dribble. Did the C agree it was a fumble or did he judge it differently?

I know the feeling. I've dropped many a discussion for political reasons.

I have seen this play a lot over the years and have always called it a fumble. But when I have two college officials telling me I'm wrong, I start to second guess myself.
-Josh |
Only thing I'd add, is that after he fumbles it, it doesn't matter what he does with his feet before he gathers the ball, as long as after securing the ball he doesn't travel.

Stop it right now!!!!!

OK, guys - I promise I'll look for my meds. :p |

Rather than question his decision on the play, you should be questioning why he was even looking there in the first place. Does he not trust you to pull your own weight on the crew? |

However, I will say this: if you watch college games on TV, it is my observation that when here is a 1-on-1 matchup coming up for the floor, you will see 4 eyes on those 2 guys more often than 2 eyes only. It seems that the C does a lot of assisting the T as the ball is advancing up the floor up to the point that a regular offensive set begins. Judging by this observation alone, I have no problem with having another set of eyes in the backcourt at this time. |

Sorry, but what you are seeing on TV is the old school way which is being eradicated. It is a detriment to the game to have the C out there ball-watching. If the T can't officiate 1-on-1 by himself, then he shouldn't be on the d@mn court! |
Nevada's right. That's something I was told to work on. The instinct as C is to hang back for a press, but when it's only 2, you should get down to your primary and help the L.
