I love this game.

I learned in my 8th grade girls game that because A1 was dribbling when B1 knocked the ball away, A1 couldn't go get the ball and begin dribbling again. Had she been holding the ball when it was knocked away then she would have been able to dribble again.

This was exacerbated because I gave A two free throws when B1 fouled A1 when attempting to knock the ball away again. That's not the rule, ref.
