Not in the NBA- that is called a travel.

In the NCAA, yes, provided it is a bonefide shot attempt, in the opinion of the official. Rule 9, paragraph 6 of the NCAA Rule Book indicates that any shot attempt constitutes a loose ball and hence, anyone can recover it.

No, they can't. They can hit the backboard or the rim and rebound it, but if the shot does not hit either of them, then it is considered a travel, or as others call it, a "self pass."

Yeah, if you can reach it in time before it goes out of bounds, or before someone on the other team dose.

Yes but only if you catch the ball in the air and shoot it while you're still in the air, otherwise traveling will be called.

If it is a shot, yes. Even if it hits the floor it is not a travel. You can always rebound a missed shot attempt, even if itβ€˜s an airball and itβ€˜s your own miss.

its is the air inside the tennis ball that you should be concerned with.

Another important factor is altitude. altitude changes the amount of oxygen in the air. this doesnt change rebound it causes the ball to travel further in air.

The offensive team is credited with a "team rebound" No individual player gets credit for a rebound but the offensive team is credited with a "team rebound." A team rebound is also given following a missed shot, if a personal foul is called before the rebound can be grabbed. It is also given to the defensive team if the ball goes out of bounds after a shot without anyone touching it, or to the team getting the ball if it glances off another player and out of bounds. Also the defensive team gets a team rebound if a shooter misses the rim entirely on the last free throw attempt in a sequence.
