Not being fully versed in the nuances of the NBA rule...is this really true in this case?

A1 shoots. Miss. A2 tips the ball (towards the goal) but misses everything. A2 again tips the ball towards the goal (or catches the ball).

You say it would be traveling.

Is it possible to travel without ever having player control? On a tip, there is no player control. In fact, a player may legally tip the ball one or more times before securing the ball. Is a tip towards the basket any different?

If it is so, then much rebounding action would be a travel in the NBA....player takes two touches to secure the ball.
