I periodically have to justify this no call, since apparently the rule is different in the NBA.
I am having trouble finding the reference or a case for this. Also, I think this rule has changed in the last decade. Any veterans out there remember the history of this rule?

Yes, the NBA rule is different.
Here is the NFHS Case Book ruling:
4.44 SITUATION B: A1 attempts a try after ending the dribble. The try does not
touch the backboard, the rim or any other player. A1 runs and is able to catch the
ball before it strikes the floor. Is this traveling? RULING: No. When A1 recovered
his/her own try, A1 could either dribble, pass or try again. There was no team
control after the ball was released on a try. (4-12; 4-41)
I've been working HS for longer than 10 years and it hasn't changed in my time.
By the way the NCAA rule is the same as the NFHS.
