Pivot.—A Pivot takes place when a player with the ball

Dribble.
—A dribble is made by tossing (once only at the
beginning of a dribble), bouncing, batting, or rolling the ball in any
direction with one hand, but as soon as it comes to rest in one or
both hands the dribble ceases, and the ball must be disposed of.

Bounds.
—The ball is out of bounds when it, or the
player holding it, touches the end or side lines, the ground or any
object beyond the end of sidelines. The throw-in is taken from the
spot where the ball touched the line or crossed it and is awarded
to the opposite side to that last playing the ball before it went out.
When taking the throw-in the player shall stand behind the line
and no player must be nearer than 3 feet to him. When a ball in
the air or in a player's hands passes over the end or side lines (if
it has not touched the ground or any object outside the court) it
is still playable, providing the player's feet are still within the court.
If it is doubtful who touched the ball last before going out, the
Referee shall throw the ball up between two opposing players within
the court, one yard from the point where it went out. In the case
of the ball lodging in the supports of the baskets it is thrown up
between two centre players at the free throw line.
