Illegal dribble or not?
I was trying to find if this is an Illegal dribble or not. I was watching sports center about 3 weeks ago and I saw a play where A1 recieved an imbounds pass in his backcourt and shot at the opposing teams basket, missed, got his own rebound and continued that for about 4 missed shots before his teamate rebounded for him and dribbled up to the front court.
I know that the rule is that when you stop your dribble and then use the opposing teams basket and you get your own rebound it is considered a second dribble and is illegal. But there was no dribble just a catch and several shots off the opposing teams backboard. I feel that the officials missed the call of an illegal dribble but I'm not sure even after looking in the rule book and case play books. What say you? |

thank you !

Maybe I am missing what you are trying to describe, but it is not a dribble to just have the ball off the backboard. A dribble demonstrates control and is a purposeful act, not something in an effort to control the ball. And maybe I was not understanding this, but the offense is trying to score on their basket if that matters to your situation.

its thrown off of the opponents basket.

understood sir. I was just curious if because there was no dribble (pushing or slapping the ball to the floor) if it changed anything. I was 99% sure it didn't because of the second shot and rebound at the opponents backboard by the same player. I just wanted to make sure.
