I am in my first year and my biggest hurdle seems to be understanding a rule that (to me) seems inherently illogical.

For example: A player can catch their own errant shot that does not hit the rim, backboard, or another player and stays in field of play. This is not a travel.
My brain: Uh... but the player just "passed it to themselves" and re-established ball control on the other side of the court without dribbling.
Rules Book: Not a pass. This is a loss of team control and team control ends when the ball is released on a shot attempt.

I'm sure there are many more...

So... yeah... you're not alone.
