Would it be considered a travel or up-and-down in basketball if you jump to shoot but in mid air change your mind and begin to dribble and the ball hits the ground before your feet do?
Yes. Technically, if you want to begin dribbling, you must put down the ball before you lift your pivot foot. If you jump to shoot, you have already lifted your pivot foot, and you must either shoot or pass the ball. If the ball touches the floor, you may not be the first one to touch the ball.See http://www.nba.com/analysis/rules_10.html?nav=ArticleListSection XIV
