Did he deliberately push the ball to the floor the first time, or did he not handle the pass cleanly? Judgment call.

If that's what you judged, you got it right, but 96.475% of the time, the first contact isn't a dribble.

Agree....at least 96.475% of the time it's just knocking the pass to the floor without establishing player control while doing so. Same concept as tipping the ball to yourself on a rebound.

That why I was a little skeptical about the call. When I played I considered the bat a dribble and didn't dribble a second time. This one was like I said he was thrown a pass and he batted it to the floor then picked the ball up and started a dribble. He handled the bat well and stayed in balance, it wasn't one of those bat and run after it scenerios

While I've called it this year, it's the only time I ever remember calling it and was more instinctual. Even though it looked controlled to me, and "felt" like a dribble, I'd rather have that one back.

I definately agree it is one of those "iffy" calls.

I have both, but I still don't know the significance of the bat on the bib. Yeah, I know he's "dribbling" out of both nostrils - hence the "double dribble", but why a bat? Unless....it anticipated this thread. Yeah - that's it.

Let's see your raw data. Is this a mean, or a median? What's the standard deviation? Are sure that this is accurate to five significant digits?

I see this one called a double dribble all the time and it's not. In fact, alot of times when this happens coaches are yelling "dead, dead, dead" and it's probably because in their last game it was called a double dribble.
