im not too much on calls that are made when the ref decides what the player was trying to do

The pivot foot MAY NOT be lifted before the ball is RELEASED to start a dribble. (Rule 4.43.3c) This is straight out of 2006-2007 NFHS Rule Book.


The rule says nothing about the ball touching the floor on a dribble.

If the player is SHOOTING or PASSING the ball, the pivot can be lifted with NO VIOLATION. If the player is starting a DRIBBLE and lifts the pivot BEFORE the ball leaves the players hand, it is traveling. That's the rule as best I can describe it.

yeah i got that...im saying what if he is making a bounce pass to a teammate close to him...the ref could think it was to start a dribble and blow the whistle which would be the wrong call...it's just a gay rule

This is why it is so important to have a patient whistle. That way there is no antisipation.
