Play is let to continue. Coach yells "travell" ; hence this question
So 2 situations are possible here
if A1 was shooting for a basket : No call (since TC ends (4.12.3.a))
if A1 was passing the ball via a lob : violation (TC still 4.12.2b)
If the above 2 statements are correct, would the call be based upon the official discretion and playing experience?
and if my speculations are wrong couls someone explain why (rule reference will help me too)
Thank you

Read the definition of a pass. There's no such thing as a pass to one's self. A pass is, by definition, to a teammate.
A player can ALWAYS throw the ball off his own backboard and catch it or recover it. It's nothing, perfectly legal.
