Yeah, we pay for the court and the ref for a two-hour allotment.

I should have worded "dribble alive," as in he can still dribble or has not started his dribble. He received the pass, jab stepped right twice, using the left foot as a pivot. The second jab step caused him to spread his legs too wide, so while holding the ball with both hands, he used the ball to touch the floor and balance himself without bouncing the ball. He then drove to the hoop. He was subsequently called for double dribble.

No problem, sir. I was apparently the only one who didn't comprehend that. My apologies for any mix-up.

We ended up winning the game b/c of the call.

Never believe this. You played a lot more than this one play, and a winner is always determined via the sum of the entire game.
