A1 throws A2 a pass as A2 is running up the court. A2 cannot get control of the ball. It hits her arm, then her chest, then back off the arms, then she gets control. From the time it first hits her to the time she actually gets control of the ball she takes at least 4 steps, maybe even 5. The definition of traveling seems to imply the player has control of the ball, which a2 clearly did not have. What's the right call here?
There's no call. With one exception, you HAVE to be holding the ball in order to travel.
