My question is what is the NCAA rule on this matter? Does a shot have to touch something before the player who shots it touches the ball? I looked in the back of the NFHS rules under the differences and it said nothing about it so I was wondering. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Rule 4, Section 60. Traveling
Art.1 Traveling occurs when a player holding the ball moves a foot or both feet in any direction in excess of the prescribed limits described in this rule.
A.R. 32. A1 attempts a try at Team A's basket after having completed a dribble. The try does not touch the backboard, the ring, flange, or any player. A1 runs and catches the ball before it strikes the playing court. Is this traveling?
Ruling When A1 recovered his or her own try, A1 could 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 has not struck the ring, it shall be a violation of the shot-clock rule.(end quote)
