I watch NBA basketball I play a lot. Recently at a church game I was called for a double dribble. I argued the calling on the grounds of something I have seen called \"Gathering\". For instance you intercept a pass by slapping it down, you then stop and grab it with two hands as it comes up then begin dribbling. Or something I have seen Dennis Rodman do many times is tip a rebound out to a clear spot on the floor then grab it stop to look around and then begin dribbling. Is there any instance of this in a video or official ruling?

I'm not a ref but I have never seen that called... don't forget the quality of refs that are being used at that level.... I've seen varsity refs blow calls because they didn't understand the rule.

Just smile and keep playing. :-)
