Dribbling and Over

[TH_indiana]

This isn't a travel until they are "holding" the ball. If it's just sort of "loose" in the air, and the player has not yet "held" it (hand under, or two hands on) he or she can take as many steps as desired. Maybe this is another of those mis-called plays as mentioned in another thread.

(can you tell me how I can make the above "paste" of your reply to appear in bold fonts?)

We are in agreement here. A young player trying to gain control will invariably either place one hand under the ball OR contact the ball with both hands. And, almost as invaribly will take an extra step or two or three or four before securing the ball.
