You Make The Call! ‘He dribbled the ball!’

(12-29-25) In Kentucky… in a Henry Clay-Ashland boys basketball game this weekend a late game call was made that led to a lot of discussion.

What do you think????

WATCH: A Henry Clay player dribbled the ball out of bounds on a throw-in and no call was made. Ashland broadcaster says it's the worst no-call he’s ever seen. However, the NFHS Case Book says the officials got it right.

Leading 65-64, Henry Clay was taking the ball out on the baseline. The inbounder dribbled the ball before passing it to his teammate, who was promptly fouled by an Ashland player. But that one dribble is what sent the Ashland broadcast team (and most people in the gym) into a frenzy, one of the announcers screaming…

“How can you miss that?!”

…before grilling the officials for the no-call as the game went on to end with a missed three-pointer by Ashland at the buzzer, giving Henry Clay the 66-64 win. 

What the Henry Clay player did was 100 percent within the rules.

The 10th Region X account on social media posted the high school basketball rule book ruling…which states that it is legal for a player to bounce the ball on the floor of the out-of-bounds area before inbounding the ball.
