How can the officials not deem this a double dribble?

NFHS 4.15.4 Situation C

This one's been bouncing around a while...

Legal ??? Why, Or Why Not ???
 

Let's Go To The Videotape ...
 

4.15.4 SITUATION C: After dribbling and coming to a stop, A1 throws the ball:
(a) against the opponent’s backboard and catches the rebound; (b) against an
official, immediately recovers the ball and dribbles again; or (c) against his/her
own backboard in an attempt to score (try), catches the rebound and dribbles
again. RULING: A1 has violated in both (a) and (b). Throwing the ball against the
opponent’s backboard or an official constitutes another dribble, provided A1 is
first to touch the ball after it strikes the official or the board. In (c), the action is
legal. Once the ball is released on the try, there is no player or team control, therefore,
A1 can recover the rebound and begin a dribble.

see case play 9.5. ball can be thrown off of players own backboard because it is his team's "equipment." we talked about this a month or two ago also.

I Don't Think So ...
 

So if A1 is dribbling, and then he decides to stop dribbling, and holds the ball. Then he can toss the ball against his headband, his "team's equipment", let the ball bounce back into his hands, and legally start a new dribble?

"Team's equipment" is not the way to decipher this situation.

Let's Go To The Videotape ...
 

9.5 SITUATION: A1 dribbles and comes to a stop after which he/she throws the
ball against: (a) his/her own backboard; (b) the opponent’s backboard; or (c) an
official and catches the ball after each. RULING: Legal in (a); a team’s own backboard
is considered part of that team’s “equipment” and may be used. In (b) and
(c), A1 has violated; throwing the ball against an opponent’s backboard or an official
constitutes another dribble, provided A1 is first to touch the ball after it
strikes the official or the board. (4-4-5; 4-15-1, 2; Fundamental 19)

It doesn't say what A1 can do after he catches the ball. Dribble again?

if you go back to the other thread you will see that i wasnt a fan of this case play either...i decided that im going to call just about anything thrown off a players own backboard a try....and you are consistent. you bounced the ball off your headband when we talked about it November 5 too:)

Change It Up ...
 

Headbands are so cliché. How about a hair control device? Does that catch your fancy?
