started a dribble?
I'll describe this thing as well as I can. Its something I see a few times during the year, but rarely see it called. Usually I see it in a varsity boys or JV boys game with very good players with quick hands.
A1 is holding the ball in a crowd but has it stripped, creating a loose ball. A1 tries to regain possession, but B1 swats the ball two quick times in his attempt to gain possession, each time with the ball bouncing on the floor. B1 then grasps the ball with both hands and begins to dribble toward his basket. I may be way off, but it seems our more seasoned officials will give B1 a pass for action during the scrum, not deeming the two swats as dribbles. How can this be justified? |

ART. 1
A dribble is ball movement caused by a player in control who bats (intentionally strikes the ball with the hand(s)) or pushes the ball to the floor once or several times. It is not a part of a dribble when the ball touches a player's own backboard. |

The statement is found in the NFHS Case Book 4.15 COMMENT . . . "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. . ."

What if there is a pass a player can't reach with both hands so the purposefully slap the ball down then catch it after a bounce. I have been considering thus a dribble. Would this not be because the haven't controlled the ball. I am not talking about a fumble.

A good test for what is control, which has often been mentioned here, is if, during this random batting of the ball, the coach asked for timeout, would you give it to him?

(I often catch the ball and hold it with one hand when a player passes it to me, to administer a throw-in, or free throw.)
