Situation:
Player A1 ends his dribble and holds the ball. The ball is then displaced from his grasp by B1. Player A1 then retrieves the ball before it strikes the court. Player A1 then dribbles a second time.

Happened today in a pickup game, most thought it was an illegal dribble because the ball never touched the floor. Looking at NFHS, NCAA, and NBA rules they all state it is not an illegal dribble if control was lost due to a “touch” (NFHS 9-5-2), a “bat” (NCAA), or “touching” (NBA) by an opponent. So was this a violation or not?

Thanks for the response,
Steve
Steve, look at it this way. When B1 batted the ball out of A1's hands, player control ended. If A1 is able to recover the ball, he has established a "new" player control. It's no different than if he had rebounded it or received a pass. He can dribble again.
