Would someone clarify for me?

Go to the 11:00 mark of the ESPN replay of the Louisville game.

The pass into Marmaud is bobbled and dropped by him. He picks it up and begins to dribble.

I was at the game thinking and yelling double dribble, but they don't call it!

Have they changed the rule? Did I miss it somewhere along the line in the past couple of years?

Thanks!

I felt the same way. If you "drop a pass" it's OK, but it seemed to me that he tried to dribble, then didn't, then went ahead later ... I hate whatever the new (which is not at all new) rule about handling the ball in that situation.

As a license referee of 9 years. It’s not a double dribble bcuz he never had complete control or possession of the ball when ball fell out of his hand so that is why he was able to bobble the ball that fell out of his hands and was able to dribble ball again. Hope that helps

Thanks! I guess that makes sense. Having played in the 50's-80's if you bobbled, picked it up and started dribbling, it was called double dribble. Few exceptions.

I might add that you are then free to carry, crab-dribble, Euro-step, and jump-stop your way all the down the floor, while only taking 1 or 2 actual dribbles.

sometime in the late 80s there was a distinction between dribble, fumble dribble and fumble dribble fumble I think...I can't recall...it was a bit confusing back then...

But did they make a basketball move before the double dribble?
