A1 goes up for a shot and realizes that he isn't going to get it off because of B1 who is guarding him. So, he simply lets go of the ball once he's airborne. Ball happens to touch B1's heel on the way to the floor. A1 picks up the ball.
As I understand it, once A1 is airborne, there are only three things he can do: pass, shoot, or travel by beginning a dribble or returning to the floor with the ball. He did not shoot. He did not attempt to pass to any player, nor did he try to bounce it off of B1. Even though he did not appear to really be trying to begin a dribble either (he did not push the ball to the floor, merely let go of it), I ruled it a travel by process of eliminiation. Was this correct?
