Traveling ?

Could someone post that part of the rule please?

Peace

I didn't say anything about the pivot foot having to be down until the ball bounced (it doesn't).

This is why I asked the question. It was unclear what you were trying to say and unclear what the bd41flpk was trying to suggest was illegal about this play. If a player throws a ball in the air (not apart of a shot) then this is not there is nothing illegal about that action as far as I could tell. I was just wondering if I missed some part of the rule.

It has to bounce before they can touch it again or continue a dribble.

Plays 1 and 2 are in the NFHS Casebook and the NFHS Interpretations thread on this forum. Both are legal if the ball is allowed to contact the court prior to the player touching it again. As others have said the reason is that the action is simply considered to be the start of the dribble.
