Double dribble

In basketball, an Illegal dribble (incorrectly identified in common wording as a double dribble) occurs when a player dribbles with two hands simultaneously.

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.

The dribble ends when the player:

  • Touches the ball simultaneously with both hands
  • Permits the ball to come to rest while he is in control of it
  • Touches the ball more than once while dribbling, before it touches the floor.
  • Penalty

    Under NCAA and NFHS rules, if an illegal dribble violation occurs, then the ball is awarded to the opposing team out of bounds nearest the point where the violation took place. Under NBA rules, the ball is awarded to the opposing team at the nearest spot, but no closer to the endline than the free throw line extended.

    Double Dribble could refer to one of several things:

  • Double Dribble (film), a 1946 theatrical cartoon starring the Disney character Goofy
  • Double Dribble (video game), a video game by Konami
  • Double dribble, a violation in the game of basketball
  • Double Dribble (film)

    Double Dribble is a 1946 Disney theatrical cartoon short that spoofs the sport of basketball and stars Goofy. It is directed by Jack Hannah.

    Plot

    A series of characters of the same species as Goofy are playing a game of college basketball, with one team representing "U.U." and the other representing the hopelessly outmatched and undersized "P.U." The short primarily focuses on a wide gamut of physically impossible and illegal stunts taken by each team. In the end, P.U. wins the match on a last-second shot that sends a U.U. player through the basket (although it appears to be P.U.'s own basket).

    The game ends with the lone fan in the stands, presumably Goofy himself, singing the P.U. alma mater. (When the series was edited for television, this character was voiced by Jeff Bennett with a much different voice, more closely resembling the voice of Mr. Smee from Disney adaptations of Peter Pan.)

    I Blame My Heart

    by: Double Treble

    I Blame My Heart
    Words & Music by Frankie Vinci and Todd Bird
    I can't control my emotions
    They've taken hold of me
    You always end up torn and broken
    And fallin' to your knees
    Something about you that keeps pullin' me in
    There's no way around it, cause we're back again
    Chorus
    I blame my heart for hurting you
    I'm wrong for the pain I put you through
    I don't wanna crash and burn
    When will I ever learn?
    You'll never break free
    My heart blames this one on me
    I didn't mean to leave you speechless
    Naked and alone
    Your world has crumbled into pieces
    But, you keep holdin' on
    I don't understand you for wanting back in
    There's no way around it. We can't pretend
    Chorus
    Bridge
    You've gotta move on with your life
    Leave it all behind
    There's nothing left to say
    Just turn and walk away
    Chorus
