In basketball, an illegal dribble (colloquially called a double dribble or dribbling violation) occurs when a player ends his/her dribble by catching or causing the ball to come to rest in one or both hands and then dribbles it again with one hand or when a player touches it twice before the ball hits the ground. The dribble also ends when the dribbler palms/carries the ball by allowing it to come to rest in one or both hands. This is a palming/carrying the ball violation if the player continues with another dribble.

There is an exception to the rule, however, and that is the power dribble. It can only be used once and can only be used after receiving a pass in the lane. The player (usually a center and/or power forward) slams the ball quickly with both hands and retrieves it. This is used to help big men back defenders down and get a strong stance. It usually is used in/near the paint (the lane).

There is no violation during the jump ball, a throw-in or free throw.^[1]

Official NBA rules[edit]

In the National Basketball Association, a dribble is movement of the ball, caused by a player in control, who throws or touches the ball into the air or to the floor.^[2]

The dribble ends when the player:^[3]

1. Touches the ball simultaneously with both hands.
2. Permits the ball to come to rest while the player is in control of it.
3. Touches the ball more than once while dribbling, before it touches the floor.

FIBA rule[edit]

Art. 24.2 of the FIBA rules ^[4] provides that:

A player shall not dribble for a second time after his first dribble has ended unlessbetween the 2 dribbles he has lost control of a live ball on the playing court becauseof:

1. A shot for a field goal.
2. A touch of the ball by an opponent.
3. A pass or fumble that has touched or been touched by another player.

Penalty[edit]

Under NCAA, NFHS and FIBA rules, if an illegal dribble violation occurs, then the ball is awarded to the opposing team out of bounds nearest the point where the violation took place.^[5] Under NBA rules, the ball is awarded to the opposing team at the nearest spot, but no closer to the end line than the free throw line extended.^[6]

Gr 5–8—Twelve-year-old Owen and Russell are twins, but they're about as different as can be. Owen is athletic; Russell is bookish. But Russell has discovered that he is a capable basketball player, so he and Owen converge on the court to make an imposing point-scoring duo, until a new set of twins comes to town. Mitch and Marcus exhibit prowess at everything they do-including basketball. They're granted spots without having to try out, and while their phenomenal skill helps the team, their time on the court means that someone else is getting benched. And when it's Owen, he has a hard time seeing past his jealousy-until one of the newcomers suffers an injury, and everyone learns that their confidence and skill may be a facade. Owen must decide if he can push aside his feelings in order to find out what the new twins are really all about. This is a straight-up sports story from an author who clearly loves basketball. Chapters alternate between the brothers' viewpoints, and lots of dialogue moves the story right along. Most of the supporting cast is hard to differentiate, but Owen's and Russ's characterizations solidly depict middle school life. This second book in the series is a good choice for reluctant readers who like sports, but it may not have broad appeal beyond that demographic.—Amy Holland, Irondequoit Public Library, NY Harry potter wizards unite brilliant event.
