Yikes. Poor kid. This would probably be the only time you'll hear a coach insisting that his guy travelled.
What's more: A friend of mine sent me this link via a Deadspin story. The story's headline and text said the kid scored in his "own basket." I emailed the author to politely point out his error.
His reply: "I'm sure you're absolutely correct, but I think I'm going to leave it. 'His Own' just sounds so much more natural, as if it's the one his team defends." Double yikes!
