What about the play we have all seen many times?:

A1 jumps to shoot a mid-range shot. The ball is wet and slips out of the airborne shooter's hands in an upward motion. The ball comes down where A1 is the first to touch the ball.

I seem to recall a case play, perhaps it was NCAA, that allowed this action.

So for NFHS, is everyone agreeing, based on the interpretation, that this case would indeed be a travel? Wouldn't this be then the 2nd exception to having control of the ball in order to have traveling?
