Rules question...

[Dove]

Player dribbles up court. Stops dribbling to do something with his dribbling hand. Then, continues dribbling after the ball bounced two or three times on its own.

Why isnt this a double dribble?

He hasn't picked up his dribble. You have to pick up your dribble and dribble again for a double dribble.

Ehhhh....

There should be no stopping the dribble.

Never stopped dribbling. The ball was still bouncing.

It isn't a double dribble. The ball is dribbling on its own once let go, like a cyborg ball. Are you trying to take away the ball's right to dribble itself? Who is going to advocate for the ball if it can't advocate for itself? After several independent and sentient dribbles it can then be taken back in hand, in harmony with the human it was once connected with.

You dribble. Then stop. Then commence dribbling again. That's a double dribble.

You dribble. Then stop. Then commence dribbling again. That's a double dribble.

It doesn't fit the definition of a double dribble or a carry. There is probably no rule against letting the ball bounce unimpeded.

A double dribble "occurs when a player ends their dribble by catching or causing the ball to come to rest in one or both hands and then dribbles"

It can't be a double dribble if you're not even touching the ball, by definition.

AJax is so good, he can dribble using only his mind.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

All that I got out of this thread is that "dribble" is a truly strange word

If the ball is bouncing, that's dribbling, whether you touch it between bounces or not. You only touch it to control where it goes and keep it bouncing. Stopping a dribble means picking up the ball to keep it from bouncing.

 

[jibsey]

You have to stop, possess the ball and initiate another dribble= double dribble. Now chin dribbling is another story……

 

[Kitaman]

I would think this would also be like a loose ball, which also is not called double dribble even if caused by the dribbler.

 

[SCNCHuskie]

From the internet “rules” book: As long as you don't touch it on the way down and have control and ONE hand touching down on the ball on the way back up, your dribble is still good - and the ball can bounce infinite times (if time allows) in between.

“There are endless times each week I hear the cry of “CARRY” from players and spectators when the player dribbling the ball loses control and it bounces up above shoulder height, is regained and they continue their dribble. From the above rules and examples all the player has done is lost control of the ball or fumbled and then continued their dribble again. So no matter how awkward or strange a play may look it all comes down to control.”




Similarly: You can take as many steps as you like when you are dribbling as long as the ball is not in contact with your hand. Think of throwing the ball out in-front of you (beginning the dribble), taking 10 steps and then taking your second dribble. This is a legal action.

Are you referring to the end of game when Sanogo had the ball? I think there was a clock malfunction on the broadcast. I was wondering why he turned over the ball (a carry) and walked without dribbling until I learned the clock was wrong.

 

[jibsey]

The refs are simply not calling carrying anymore. Did you see the end of the game with Sanogo?

If you are referring to the last 7 seconds, refs have rarely ever called those type of calls after both teams have given in to the determined outcome. There are examples of guys literally walking down the court as the final seconds tick away without traveling being called. The refs understand that the game is over, the defense is no longer playing defense, and the offense is no longer attempting to score. At that point the game is basically over other than a few more ticks on the clock.

rules, meh.
that's all i got.

The ball is still dribbling lol. Double dribble occurs when the ball stops dribbling

This is pretty much the plot to the last matrix sequel
