Basketball Rules: Double Dribble

OK, the next penalty, or ball handling penalty, that I would like to discuss is the double dribble. The double dribble is any dribble that requires more that hand. OK? This is the basic dribble, using one hand. If you dribble with two hands, that's a double dribble. Also, if you're dribbling, you pick up the ball to either pass it or shoot it, you decide that you don't want to do that and you take the dribble again, the 'Ref' or Referee will blow the whistle. That's also an example of a double dribble. What happens, when you get called for a double dribble, is a turnover, meaning, the ball goes to the other team. So, you'll always want to refrain from getting as many turnovers as possible. Always keep in mind your ball handling rules. OK, there's no double dribbling. Just to review, a double dribble is any dribble that requires more than one hand. So this, using both hands, would be a double dribble. Also, dribbling, picking up the ball and dribbling again, is a double dribble. OK? Those are penalties, which in the end result, where you will lose the ball, you and your team.
