Travel?
A1 receives pass at elbow, then dribbles just short of block where she ends her dribble. While ending her dribble A1 fumbles the ball in the air. A1 takes several steps to retrieve the fumble which never touches the ground. Travel or not?

No travel. Fumbler is allowed to go and retrieve without restriction.

No call, but you can expect some howling from the monkeys.
Ask your partner what rule requires a player to let a fumble hit the floor before he can recover it. |

During a fumble the player is not in control of the ball, and therefore, cannot be called for a traveling violation. A fumble is the accidental loss of player control when the ball is unintentionally dropped or slips from a player’s grasp. After a player has ended a dribble and fumbled the ball, that player may recover the ball without violating. Any steps taken during the recovery of a fumble are not traveling, regardless of how far the ball goes and the amount of advantage that is gained. It is always legal to recover a fumble, even at the end of a dribble, however that player cannot begin a new dribble, which would be an illegal dribble violation. A player who fumbles the ball when receiving a pass may legally start a dribble. |

Second of all, I've done it. I've also called over the back and reaching in; and once, when I was doing my first year of middle school ball in college, I convinced a partner that any player on the court could shoot free throws for an injured player. We all call stupid stuff when we're just starting out. |

Third game ever, I called a throw-in violation. I was the non-administering official. :o I can tell you the gym, who my P was, and almost tell you the date as well. :eek: I once used "over the back" in a game, only to describe the body movement that caused the foul. It felt weird to say it. |
