as referenced by eroe39 case book play 363.
player a1, prior to dribbling the ball, jumps and touches the ball to the basket ring or back board. he returns to the floor with the ball still in his possession. is this a traveling violation.
yes. because the ball has never left player a1's possession, there has been no field goal attempt. the ball must be out of his possession prior to his pivot foot returning to the floor to prevent a violation.
the rules that govern traveling are the same from pro to college to highschool. (except the 2 rythm count which has no bearing on this play.) i would call a travel on this play now that it has been identified, discussed and referenced.

I don't think the men's rec league the MOFFICIAL referenced was playing pro rules. If not, then 363 has no bearing.
Oh, and the rules that govern traveling are different in the NBA versus NF and NCAA.
