Ball comes in contact with both hands while dribbling

Remember, in NFHS 9-5 the definition of an illegal dribble begins with the phrase "A player shall not dribble a second time after his/her first dribble has ended..." It doesn't say anything about the second dribble ending as well. Granted there is judgment involved if A1 has a teammate near him/her who may be receiving a bounce pass but that's generally a Stevie Wonder-type play: we'll be able to tell 99% of the time whether it's a pass. The other 1% is what we get paid for.

A = obvious illegal dribble
B = you have to be there and see how the play is developing

Remember, you can fumble-dribble-fumble so both plays are legal. In play A, A1 would not be able to dribble again.
