The ball lands near the endline, but stays inbounds. A1 runs to ball, but doesn't want to recover it. He stands there with his arms out looking like he is afraid to touch the ball. He finally recovers the ball and passes it to a A2, who shots and makes a basket. A1 coach is wanting a travel. I tell him that it was not a travel and that I judged it as a fumbled dribble. Pardner tells him the same at next dead ball when pardner was near him, as is still questioning the call. At half time pardner tells me that there is no rules support to have a travel, even if it was the old "self-pass". I disagree with that but he is adamant and I let it drop.

I'm still confused:



How are you disagreeing with this? What scenario do you see that makes this a travel?

I was thinking of 4.44.3 sit. D, (b). Nothing made me think of traveling during the play in question.

1. Your partner may have thought of this play as an illegal dribble (which it used to be, and which more closely adheres to the wording and history of the rules).

Maybe, but I doubt it, especially since his padner was having a spitting contest with coach over the rule book.
