Okay had this come up the other night, and we couldn't come to a consensus agreement which was correct...
The situation: a player knocks the balls loose and it bounces to a player on the moving team who then fails to pick it up, and it then bounces to an open square.
The sides: One coach said this was a turnover because any time a player on the moving team fails to pick up a ball it is a turnover. The other coach said that it wasn't because it was a forced "out of the normal procedure of events" type of roll, and since no overt decision had been made to pick up the ball, that it wasn't a turnover...
Who is correct, and why? |

You only make a Pick Up roll when you enter the square where the ball is resting.
If the ball enters your square, it's a Catch roll, which is never a TO on it's own. |

| To clarify, it is NOT a turnover. |

Just to be clear ... as Darkson said ... there is the point of your confusion ... its it not a failed pickup ... it is a failed catch and the turnover list does not have failing a catch roll on the list.

| Thank you, that was the crux of our argument (whether it was a "pick up" or "catch")... now I can go back and say "na na" you were wrong. Thanks guys. |
