Legal end of a dribble?

That gets my vote.

I agree with the ruling of an illegal dribble 100%. However, this question is on the IAABO Refresher test and several big-wigs in IAABO are saying this is simply ending the dribble. It would only be illegal if A1 touched the ball before it hit the floor and then continued his/her dribble.

Just sharing.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I seem to remember a discussion of a case play like this play, where we argued about the ruling because the NFHS play ruled that it was a traveling violation.

Does anybody else remember that play? Nevada? Tony?

The NFHS has flipped on the exact violation as far as Traveling vs Illegal Dribble. It really could really be either one depending on how you look at it.

Right, but was there a case play released that described this exact play?

Yes. At one time, it ruled traveling and at another time it ruled illegal dribble.

The big wigs aren't correct and are doing a disservice to the game by allowing a player to gain an unfair advantage.

Batting the ball during a dribble, which clearly has not ended at this point and won't until the player catches the ball, and then moving to a new location and catching the ball before it strikes the floor is what used to be called an air dribble. That action is now illegal. The ball must contact the floor for the action to constitute a legal dribble.
