Travel?
Situation 2:
A1 gets a rebound and starts his shooting motion. A2 loses his balance and falls into his teammate, A1. Official blows the whistle for a foul. A1 releases his try and it's successful.
Official then realizes his mistake and declares an accidental whistle.
Count the basket?

#1. No. I don't consider a player to be holding the ball when it is trapped between his hand and the floor..
#2. No...by rule, the ball became dead at the whistle since there was no foul by the defense involved. A's ball for the IW.
