BASKET BALL 263
33. Ball becomes Alive
Section 3. " The ball becomes alive " (goes into play) when
(a) it reaches the highest point on a toss for a jump and the
Official blows his whistle, or
(b) when the Official places it at the disposal of a free thrower
(see
75),
or
(c) when on a throw-in from out of bounds, it touches a player
in the court.
34. Disqualified Player
. Section 4. " A Disqualified Player " is one who is barred from
further participation in the game because of committing his fifth
personal foul, or certain flagrant fouls, or for infraction of paragraph
9
1
(e) (see also 73).
35. Dribbling
Section 5. " A Dribble is made " when a player, having gained
control of the ball, gives impetus to it by throwing, batting, bouncing
or rolling it, and touches it again before it touches another player.
In a dribble the ball must come in contact with the floor, except
that one " air dribble " may be made, that is, a player may begin
a dribble by tossing the ball into the air and may touch it again
before it strikes the floor. After giving impetus to the ball as des-
cribed in the foregoing, the player completes his dribble the instant
he touches the ball simultaneously with both hands, or permits
the ball to come to rest in one or both hands. There is no limit to
the number of steps a player may take when the ball is not in contact
with his hand ; he may take as many steps as he wishes between
bounces of a dribble.
NOTE.—The following are not dribbles : Successive tries for goal,
fumbles, attempts to gain control of the ball by tapping it front the
vicinity of other players striving for it; or by batting it front the control
of another player, or by blocking a pass and recovering the ball.
36. Extra Period
Section 6. Extra Period is the extension of playing time necessary
to break a tie score.
37. Fouls—Technical and Personal
Section 7.
(a) A Foul is an infraction of the rules, the penalty for which
is one or more free throws.
(b) A Personal Foul (94) is a player foul which involves contact
with an opponent while the ball is in play.
(c) A Double Foul is a situation in which two opponents com-
mit personal fouls against each other at approximately the
same time.
(d) A Multiple Foul is a situation in which two or more team-
mates commit personal fouls against the same opponent at
approximately the same time.
(e) A Technical Foul (88 to 93) is a foul which occurs while
play is suspended, or a foul by a non-player, or a player
foul which does not involve contact with an opponent.
