Swell. I'm basing my entire point on the whistling the play on the pick up, not the bats.

Indeed the bats are not control, so I have nothing until the ball is picked up on this play.

Sorry.

Sorry, but the pickup is merely the retrieval of a fumble. Perfectly legal. What precedes is irrelevant as long as player control is never re-established.

Well, upon a second look at looking at the O.P., I have nothing. I see perhaps one or two interrupted dribbles, but nothing more.

My apologies for any confusion.

Here is a puddin stirer:
IF you judge player control by the ball coming to rest in a players hand.
THEN Why could you not judge that the ball came to rest in the hand of the player who rolled the ball?
This could also be relevant to the 84 Foot Rebound Tip Hypothetical.

Me. Just ignore the "stupid" part. Couldn't find a clip without it.
