NCAA = legal according to a recent A.R.
NFHS = not legal per a rather old interpretation ruling (20+ years ago). Most people seem to permit this based upon the temporary loss of player control. The issue is that that principle conflicts with the rule stating that a player who jumps with the ball must pass or try for goal before returning to the floor. We had a rather lengthy discussion on this play a few years ago and either Bob or JR produced the old NFHS ruling calling this traveling.
