Yeah for sure, I was talking specifically about the obvious play where we know it is not a pass. I think Jay was referring to that as well.

Guys, you're picking nits.
A1 jumps for a shot but doesn't shoot. Realizing his error, he (a) drops the ball to the floor and re-catches it, (b) pushes ball to floor to start a dribble. I've got a violation in both cases. That's what I was referring to. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

You need to re-read the OP. There's a BIG difference between what you are describing and what the OP is describing. I would not describe the difference as a "nit". The play you describe above is not being questioned by anybody.

Whatever. Again, sorry I wasn't clearer the first time. I went back and clarified.

When a player releases the ball, it is a judgment call what it is. This is not a shot. A pass is defined as "to another player," so therefore, in my judgment, if he drops the ball straight to the floor, it is not a pass. This leaves only a dribble. Violation when it hits the floor.

I think we all know the play Jay had - and that he got it right.

A1 and B1 are the only two players in the picture. A1 goes up to shoot, but B1 is up there waiting for him. A1, realizing the shot will be blocked, drops the ball to the floor. When B1 comes down, he lunges for the loose ball, but knocks it out of bounds. You gonna give the ball back to A because this might have been a pass? I'm not.

This goes back to, "if you don't know for sure that it's a violation, it's not." If there's any doubt, let it go; see the whole play.

If he called the violation before A1 retouched the ball, I don't think he got it right. Will it matter in the game? Probably not 99% of the time, but in plays like jar brings up just above this post, it would matter and I think jar would get it wrong.
