Double Dribble
In the National Basketball Association, a dribble is movement of the ball, caused by a player in control, who throws or taps the ball into the air or to the floor.
The dribble ends when the player:
- Touches the ball simultaneously with both hands
- Permits the ball to come to rest while they are in control of it
- Touches the ball more than once while dribbling, before it touches the floor.
