The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.

After ending his dribble, A-1 attempted to pass to A-2 in the backcourt.  Not aware that the pass was being made, A-2 vacated his position.  Then A-1 ran over and picked up the pass. A-1 then passed ball to A-2.

Handle the situation.


By definition, A-1 has dribbled a second time.  The ball was in A-1’s control.  A-1 voluntarily released the ball in A-2’s direction.  The ball hit the floor and was recovered by A-1.  A violation should be ruled.
