O.K., say he never catches the ball: He "controls" the rebound by tapping it in the air to himself, and then continues tapping it just above his hand at waist level. Since he isn't in control, he can run down the court tapping it (just above his hand). NO TRAVEL
Now, say he did catch the rebound. Then starts tapping it at waist level. Then runs down court tapping it just above his hand. TRAVEL
How can you have a travel in one, and not the other?
Which brings me back to the ball on the floor, which the player placed at his feet.
If the ball was loose at that point, he could legally tap it forward and then run and pick it up. But, the ball is NOT loose, it is in his control, so it definitely is a travel if he taps it forward and then runs to pick it up.
