The intentional Bobble
Other thread got convoluted.
What (and when) is the exact violation in this case: Player in possession of the ball throws the ball upward, takes 2 steps, volleyball bumps it back up, 3 more steps, volleyball bump, 3 more steps... etc. |
Based on your description, what violation would you think to call and why?
|
I'm calling a travel for lifting and replacing the pivot foot prior to a dribble.
|
Case play has this as a travel.

in this example the player controls the ball and then throws it. he then runs and bumps it. because he bumped it and didnt catch it---the original throw of the ball was actually the start of a dribble. (dribble begins when player throws/bats ball to floor---doesnt say it has to actually hit floor to be considered start of dribble) when he runs and bumps it he has hit it twice "during the dribble" so he has violated 4-15-2. this could be the air dribble you mentioned. i'm thinking as i go. this could be all wrong... my head hurts.....and the more it hurts im thinking that the other thread play may be better categorized as illegal dribble under 4-15-2 as you said originally.. |

4.44.3 SITUATION D: (a) A1 tosses the ball from one hand to the other while keeping his/her pivot foot in contact with the floor; or (b) A1 throws the ball over the head of B1 and then takes several steps before catching it. RULING: Legal in (a), but a traveling violation in (b). In (b), since the ball did not touch the floor, the tossing and subsequent catch is illegal. (9-4) The NFHS has some "wording" work to do ... |
When I see someone do this, I will worry about this then. ;)

Sometimes, infractions can be covered under more than one rule. This could be an illegal dribble or a a travel. Pick one...it doesn't really matter which.
