From ESPN's H.S. showcase...NFHS Rule 4-44-3b in action (sort of)

The ball was pushed to the floor - that's the start of a dribble. Since his pivot foot came off the floor before that, it's a travel. Snaqs - I'm having a hard time seeing it as anything else and I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here?

I wouldn't call it a travel until I knew for sure it was a dribble. Normally, these players throw it somewhere, anywhere, knowing they can't come down with it or dribble it. This player did the same thing, he let it go and hoped a teammate would come get it. To me, that's a pass, not a dribble, even if it's a bad pass.

I would agree with the travel just because he pushes it basically strait down, if he had pushed it away from himself you could call it a pass; but on the spot with the whistle in my mouth it would be hard not to whistle this a travel. I still don't understand why they went to the arrow.

Not when you keep the air in your belly and factor in discipline, patience & benefit of the doubt.

I heard someone say Bill Dixon is president of Board 12. What kind of communication did he have with his partners? He walks down, takes the ball and then points at himself, then goes arrow, guaranteed no one else knows what he's doing. Then he gets it wrong.

Umm, I guess he's a do as a say not as I do, kind of guy.
