When...
Partner and I are debating. When a dribbler loses control and the ball bounces high, he puts his hand under it but does not dribble it again... I say no violation.

Right or wrong?

If he does not dribble again, what's the violation?

What is the violation, according to your partner? Just curious.

We're debating it because we can't find reference to the fact that it is not a violation in the books.

We also know that it takes a slow whistle not to call it right away - something we are both working on.

Agree or Disagree: This, and related "high dribble" situations, is often whistled (with one toot; two or three or more toots by those pushing the envelope) on the premise that "it just doesn't look good". No violation involved, but if it looks bad, it must be illegal.

....
So again, what violation does your partner think it is based on the rules you can find?

That was my question ... your partner blows the whistle, what's the call (violation) he signals?

So what you're saying is that your partner thinks it is a violation but has no idea why?

Was this ever a rule? I only know it as a myth.
