What if in Lark's example, A1 attempted to pick up the ball with both hands before making a pass, but fumbled it 15 feet away. Can he go pick it up, but not dribble? Is that what's called an interrupted dribble?

Thanks,

Coach Bill

He may pick it up. But, it's not considered an interrupted dribber, its a fumble.

Had this exact play last season in a varsity game. A1 is racing down the court and attempts to grab the ball for a two-handed pass to A2. The ball slips out of his hand and momentum carries them both about 15 feet down court before he retrieves it and passes to A3.

I was trail, and the play happened right in front of the C as it was transitioning into his area from mine; he'd just crossed half court. B coach caught me on my way back down court after that and asked if it I thought it was a travel.

My answer was easy; looked like a fumble from my angle, coach. He nodded his head and dropped the topic.

Did anybody notice that this thread has been resurrected from 2002?

Bonus question: In which year was JR resurrected?

Nevada. Is this a trick question or do you know something I don't?

JR still lists his location as HELL.

That would mean that if Larks asked that question today, it would be "Traveling Question #1,873,234."

Does Anybody besides me disagree that ref in PA is wrong in saying that because it is a two handed pass and he goes and retrieves it (without dribbling) that it is a travel?

When did that become illegal? What about power dribbles i.e., post player pounds the ball hard to the floor ONE TIME. That is not an illegal dribble, so what makes this?

The player has every right to go recover the ball w/o being penalized. Maybe I'm missing something here. If so, please enlighten me.
