Placing the ball on the floor
I think this is an easy one, but would like some opinions. Player A receives ball from Player B. Player A proceeds to place ball on the ground with both hands. I had someone call him for a violation (DD or traveling)?

If that's the whole story, it certainly is not a violation.
|
Player A never released the ball but he did pick it up and make a move to the basket.

It's possible the official saw something else.
It's also possible he misunderstands the rule. |

4.15 COMMENT: It is not possible for a player to travel during a dribble. A player is not dribbling while slapping the ball during a jump, when a pass rebounds from his/her hand, when he/she fumbles, or when he/she bats a rebound or pass away from other players who are attempting to get it. The player is not in control under these conditions. It is a dribble when a player stands still and bounces the ball. It is not a dribble when a player stands still and holds the ball and touches it to the floor once or more than once. |
