Hitting the Ball with One's Fist

[Raymond]

Fisting, just don't verbalize the violation in a gym full of moms.

Would not have a violation on the OP's play.

Fisting is still illegal in 23 states.

I don't have a violation. The heel of ones hand is still part of the hand. The fist is the when the hand is balled up and struck with, well the fist (knuckles).

Let's say I'm dribbling, then the ball comes to rest on the floor after I... I don't know... drop it. I can then slap the ball so that it starts bouncing and continue my dribble?

I know it's very unlikely for this to ever happen, but I don't see how this would be legal. I know, by rule, it's hard to say the dribble ended.

I don't see how it would be illegal.

That's my point... neither do I. But while the rules on how a dribble ends don't work in this case, it surely seems like the dribble ended.

Yep, and a high dribble "seems" like a carry, but....
