End of discussion, no?

I'm pretty sure that this USED TO be the rule. Kids on the play ground would call it "self pass." But about 7-10 years ago they changed the rule in the NBA that if the ref determined that your intent was to shoot at the basket(but you just missed completely) that it was legal.

Nope.

No, you cannot catch you're own airball if you moved you're pivot foot. If you haven't started dribbling, though, you could throw the ball and go get it yourself as long as it touches the floor first. They would call that self-pass on the playground, but it isn't.

OP: Traveling. Picked up pivot foot.

I got another bball question. 4 seconds left in the game, my teams up 2 points and I know the other teams going to try and foul. If I take the inbounds pass and immediatly throw it as high in the air as I can, can the other team foul me while the balls in the air, or do I win as long as the ball stays up four seconds?

pretty sure fouling off the ball intentionally results in foul shot(s?) and the ball back.

it's why you have to foul the ballhandler in end of game situations.

generally there isnt enough time to do what you just described.

If you have not established a pivot foot -- that is, if you have not moved your feet at all before jumping -- this is legal.

If you move either foot even a little bit before jumping, however, it's traveling.

I tried this in a game once....I threw the ball too hard and it was a college gym so we didn't have the huge arena, and the ball hit the ceiling and the other team got the ball back and sent it to OT. Luckily we won in OT.

Also I believe that Magic Johnson rolled the ball down the court to take time off in a playoff game(I think against the Blazers) once.

I can say with 100 percent certainty that this is correct, except that the rule was changed in the NBA about 4 years ago and only applies to the NBA.

Can someone commit a loose-ball foul away from the ball?

Please tell me if this is a violation of any rule.. I receive a pass and don't dribble, pivot and jump as if to hoist a shot but see that i'm gonna get blocked so i drop the shot before i land and start dribbling... clear my mind please

[/ QUOTE ]

You can jump and then start dribbling in mid air, but if you tos up a half shot it's travelling because you can't catch your own airball

[/ QUOTE ]

Wrong. Must release the ball to start a dribble before lifting pivot foot.
