collinst: Welcome to the Forum. Also, nice first post.

Did the player release the "pass" before lifting her pivot foot? Did the "passed" ball hit the floor? If so, consider it a dribble. A dribble legally started, and legally ended.

A dribble is ball movement caused by a player in control who bats
(intentionally strikes the ball with the hand(s)) or pushes the ball to the floor once
or several times. The dribble may be started by pushing, throwing or batting the ball
to the floor before the pivot foot is lifted. The dribble ends when:
a. The dribbler catches or causes the ball to come to rest in one or both
hands.b. The dribbler palms/carries the ball by allowing it to come to rest in one or
both hands.c. The dribbler simultaneously touches the ball with both hands.


If she released the pass after lifting her pivot foot, it's traveling.

If she released the pass before lifting her pivot foot, and the ball didn't hit the floor, it's traveling.

Traveling is moving a foot or feet in any direction in excess of prescribed limits
while holding the ball.


Also (and I'm getting real picky here), you can't, by definition, make a pass to yourself, only to another player.

A pass is movement of the ball caused by a player who throws, bats or rolls the
ball to another player.
