so if the referee determines that the player was trying to pass, it can be treated as a violation on the above clause. whether or not the player actually started a dribble prior to ending the dribble while saving the ball is irrelevant as long as the throw is seen as a pass, and this situation is not uncommon when the supposingly receiver misses the pass & A1 goes to retrieve the ball and be the 1st person to touch it.

You're applying the NBA rule set...when the majority of discussions on this forum are plays involving NFHS or NCAA rules. If you wish to discuss situations under NBA rules, you need to state so explicitly in your post.

Do you officiate under NBA rules? Do you officiate at all?

Do you think the members of this forum are NBA officials?
