Violation or legal minhjamin 03/08/06
    Player A dribbles down the court on a fast break. Player B runs along side Player A but does not attempts to disrupt Player A's fast break. Player A 'miss dribbles' the ball. A miss dribble is when a player misses a dribble and the ball bounces over the hand while the player is running with the ball. In this case, Player A takes at least 3 steps then slows down to regain the ball without taking another dribble. Player A stops with the ball and passes it away after picking up his miss dribble. Is this a violation like a travel? Or is it legal?

      Clarification/Follow-up by minhjamin on 03/08/06 9:29 am:
      I have seen what you are describing many times as well, when a player lets the ball bounce in front of him while adjusting his shorts or what not. I don't think this is a violation because he is still in control of the ball. However, I feel that in the case above, it is a travel because he loses control of his dribble with no outside force causing the ball to bounce over his hand and above his waist. I feel that there is some violation.
