Once in lifetime I'm sure
 

Really saw this. Varsity Girls.

Ball inbound after made basket. Full court pressure. Dribbler fires pass across court - hits rim (accidentally) and it bounces back to her, and off she went again.

Hummm -- not a legitimate try , its not her basket.....
Walking? Double dribble?

I was Center (3 man) and passed. Trail passed too.

Right call?

So she gave up her dribble, and then dribbled again? :eek:

Illegal dribble

double dribble, 4.15.1 SITUATION C

maybe yes, maybe no
 

Depends if she caught the ball and then started a new dribble.

In the case you cite, the ball hits the backboard. In the play in this thread, then ball hits the rim. By rule, that does make a difference (I think). The end result in the play in the thread might be the same, but the timing should be (slightly) different.

In the OP the "dribbler fires a pass." So, by my reading, the dribble had ended. Even if she didn't catch the ball, it's still a violation to dribble again.

Wouldn't it be a violation the moment she touches it after it hits the rim since no one else touched it?

Why (assuming she hadn't moved her pivot foot)?

Won't the striking of the rim be her second dribble?

*A-1 dribbles, then stops. (One dribble.)
*A-1 "fires the pass", hits B's rim, and catches the ball.

By rule, two dribbles, right?

4-4-5 A ball which touches ... the backboard is treated the same as touching the floor inbounds.

1-7 an 1-10 define backboard and basket (which includes the ring) differently.

Maybe they mean them to be the same, but it's not what it says.

Of course, since a try ends when the ball touches the floor, and the backboard is the same as the floor, ... ;)

Would it NOT be a try though since it is not her basket?

How many of this exact same conversation do we need? Bizarre.

I can understand the basket and backboard being separate entities in the frontcourt, but what could be the reasoning to do that with the backcourt? I have not been able to find a reference one way or the other.
