• An illegal (double) dribble occurs when a player:
  • Dribbles with two hands
  • Dribbles again after ending a dribble voluntarily
• A second dribble is allowed only if control was lost due to:
  • A shot attempt touching the rim or backboard
  • An opponent touching the ball
• A dribbler who steps out of bounds without touching the ball may re-establish their status inbounds and continue dribbling.
  • This is a violation at the Pro level.
• Penalty: Loss of possession and ball awarded to the opposing team
