Therefore, by catching the ball and landing, I would have to think it's a travel.
Maybe I'm confused by the whole thing - not to challenge you, but can you quote me a rule / case reference for this one???

If the would land as you say above then yes I would say we have traveling. However, if I understand the question this situation would be when the player throws the ball off the backboard, jumps and catches the ball and then dunks the ball before returning to the ground.
