the differences: 1. cannot catch own shot. 2. not necesarily a travel if a player falls to the floor. and a player may recover a fumbled ball as in nc2a.

it is a confusing play but the play has been referenced by nc2a and pro. also the differences in the traveling definitions have no bearing on the play.
And, I never said the differences in NBA versus NF and NCAA traveling rules had any bearing on the play. You stated, "the rules that govern traveling are the same from pro to college to highschool." I simply stated that this was not true. I've pointed out the differences.

the ball must be released prior to the pivot foot coming to the floor in both nc2a and pro.
No, I'm afriad you're wrong.

NCAA 4-65-2
The try shall start when the player begins the motion that habitually precedes the release of the ball on a try. The ball does not need to leave the playerÂ’s hand.
NCAA 4-65-5
A dunk attempt is a try.

you have a hard time admitting you were wrong.
Where was I wrong? You've been wrong since you got here with your "I'm not calling it that way cause the rule doesn't make sense" mentality.

Read the above rule references. Who's wrong?
