My thoughts

Is this a travel and can anyone possibly explain why it is or not? Thanks.
I'm going to say this is NOT traveling or double dribble.

NFHS rule 4-12-6 sez: "Neither team control nor player control exists during a dead ball, throw-in, jump ball or when the ball is in flight during a try or tap for goal." . I think you need to have "player control" of the ball in order to call a travel or double dribble. Since this was in your judgement a legit "TRY" , I say play on, basket counts.

At least IMRHO (In my Rookie Humble Opinion).

Ok, now its time for the old guys to comment!
