Double dribble
In basketball, an illegal dribble (colloquially called a double dribble or dribbling violation) occurs when a player ends their 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 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 no violation during the jump ball, a throw-in or a free throw.[1]
Official NBA rules
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]
- Touches the ball simultaneously with both hands.
- Permits the ball to come to rest while the player is in control of it.
- Touches the ball more than once while dribbling, before it touches the floor.
FIBA rule
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 unless between the two dribbles he has lost control of a live ball on the playing court because of:
- A shot for a field goal.
- A touch of the ball by an opponent.
- A pass or fumble that has touched or been touched by another player.
