2. In case if the player is on one leg at the time of transfer of the ball, it will be the supporting one as soon as the player touches the second leg to the floor.
3. If the basketball player at the time of mastering the ball is on one leg, and then jumps out and lands on both, then none of the legs will be the supporting one.
4. If the player received the transfer of the ball in a jump, then touching the pad with both feet simultaneously, he can choose which leg to make the supporting one.
5. When a player lands on one leg, and then only lowers the second, then the one that touches the playground first will be considered the supporting one.
6. If a basketball player touches the court with one foot, then he has the right to jump out of this state on both legs. Then the reference leg is not determined.

It is allowed to catch the ball in the sitting position, lying down, reclining, but rolling, getting up, sliding on the court with the ball in the hands is strictly prohibited.
