If a player catches the ball in the air with one or two hands and spins around and then shoots, is this legal??? I'd like to get a better clarification of what "catch" means in that particular rule.
The criteria used is did the ball come to rest in the shooter's hand(s). If it did---> catch. Catch = player control. Judgement call.
