Quote from: Lucifer on May 17, 2024, 11:55:08 AM"Showing the ball" is when the ball handler moves the ball away from their body whilst still in their hand/s, usually as a dummy/fake to deceive an opponent. A nuance to understand with this, is that some more skillful players might do this with one hand. Show the ball to one side and then step to the opposite side in an attempt to evade an opponent. Again this is perfectly fine. However when passing the ball from one hand and back to the other then the "original" hand needs to maintain contact with the ball as it moves from one hand to the other. You can't throw the ball from one hand to the other. There needs to be an exchange from one hand to the other or a point, no matter how brief, where both hands are on the ball. I believe the lack of understanding of this led to the belief "showing the ball" is a foul play.So is this Showing the ball?
"Turning twice" is generally a situation where a player attempts to evade an opponent by going one direction and then turning the opposite way and going a different direction, without ever playing the ball (taking a bounce or solo.) Again, this is perfectly fine. Generally, this action will border on the 4 steps rule (which isn't policed stringently in any case.
