No you cannot, unless you don't move your feet. Otherwise it would be a travelling violation.
The above interpretation is incorrect for the NCAA. Below is from the NCAA rules casebook:
Traveling
A.R. 114. A1 attempts a try at Team A's basket after having completed the
dribble. The try does not touch the backboard, the ring or the
flange or any other player. A1 runs and catches the ball before it
strikes the playing court. Is this traveling?
RULING: No. When A1 recovered his or her own try, A1 could
either dribble, pass or try again. There is no team control by either
team when a try is in flight. However, when the shot clock expires
and a try by A1 or a teammate has not struck the ring or the flange, it
shall be a violation of the shot-clock rule.
(Rule 4-70.1, 4-15.4.c and 9-11.2)
No, it is not consider a traveling vioation. If the ref considers it a shot, the shooter can even catch their own "air ball" without it being a violation.
I think that would be considered traveling. You are advancing the ball without dribbling.
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, by definition, you must have full possession of the ball in order for it to count as a rebound.
Yes and no. If someone else touched the ball, then you are eligible to touch the ball again. If no one touched it and you grab it again, it is considered traveling.
Yes, but it most touch the rim first or if it completely missed the rim, they could grab the air ball before it goes out of bounds or if anyone else grabs it.
Yes, as long as the ball hits some part of the goal, its not traveling.
YES!!! Because both 'air' and 'ball' are stand alone words in their own right.
A rubber ball without air sinks because it is denser than water, causing it to displace less water than its own weight. However, when the ball is filled with air, it becomes buoyant due to the air creating a positive buoyant force that is greater than the ball's weight, causing it to float.
no, it will be called almost every time.
There are two methods of playing a half-court game. One method is that if the ball is missed but hits the rim or backboard, the opposite team (the team that shot the ball can rebound and shoot as they please) must take the ball back. If the ball is missed and hits nothing, then the opposing team does not have to take the ball back. The second method is the same except that the ball must be taken back under all circumstances for the opposing team, should they gain possession of the ball.
I'm sorry to say you are the rebound girl because he keeps seeing his ex and as you said (answered your own question) he's not over her yet. The ball is in your court and you hold the power by telling him to make a choice or you're walking away because you don't share your boyfriends.
