As a basketball coach I have a question in regard to the following move: I know a player can rebound his own shot - even if the shot does not hit the rim. BUT - what if a player has a breakaway - he stops at the free throw line and then throws the ball off the board, catches it and dunks the ball. Would this be a travel? - the intent was pass not shoot.
We had a big, long, discussion on one of the boards on this very issue earlier this year. There were a lot of angles and possible interpretations but I think that the overall consensus was that nobody, myself included, would call this a violation. If I'm the opposing coach I just hope that this showboat who is trying to rub it in my team's face misses the dunk and makes himself look bad instead of us.
