I felt it was a well-executed crossover dribble. Did it push the limits of legality? Yes, but in my opinion virtually all behind-the-back dribbles while driving toward the basket involve a greater...

As well, since the violation causes the ball to become dead immediately, why would an official chop to start the clock when the ball just became dead? The “hand up” is also used to prevent the timer...

FWIW

Your description (no holding, no possession) contradicts the rulebook definition of "fumble." If there was no holding/possession (i.e. player control) then the player could not have...

My interpretation

Technically, in the rule definition "pushes the ball to the floor" it doesn't say the ball has to bounce, that's just the way we are accustomed to seeing it. Whether the player in control of the...
