How could that be traveling? It's like I said in the 3 second post. A player has to hold with ball in order to travel, with a couple of exceptions.

1- He can't hold the ball, throw it into the air, run and catch it.

2- He can't be on the floor, put the ball on the floor, get up and pick the ball up.

Those are the only two exceptions that I can think of. Otherwise, he must be holding the ball in order to travel.
