Is this legal in high school or college, to catch your own pass? I know it is illegal in the pro game but wasn't sure what the high school and college rule is.

Rule 15-3 The dribble may be started by pushing,
throwing or batting the ball to the floor.
Rule 15-4 The dribble ends when:
a. the dribbler catches or causes the ball to come to rest in one or both hands.
c. the dribble simultaneously touches the ball with both hands.
Thus, throwing the ball to start the dribble is good, but grabbing the ball ends it.
The dribbler may however continue his dribble by using one hand after the ball strikes the floor.
