#1- The two rhythm count that you spoke of, although it is similiar to a jumpstop.
#2- NBA - A player who falls to the floor while holding the ball, or while coming to a stop, may not gain an advantage by sliding.
In the NF and NCAA, a player who falls to the floor while holding the ball has traveled. He doesn't get a chance to slide.
#3- As Chuck correctly guessed, in the NBA, it's traveling if a player reobunds his won missed airball shot. It is not traveling in the NF or NCAA.
#4- NBA - After lifting the pivot foot, if a player drops the ball while in the air, he may not be the first to touch the ball.
Under NF and NCAA rules, can a player recover the ball if he fumbles it? The rule says that he must pass or shoot. It does not say he cannot be the first player to touch it if he drops or fumbles it. If he legitmately fumbled it, I would let him recover it.
#5 - They don't call traveling in the NBA!
