As a matter of fact, this is true - the person informed you correctly. If in the official's judgement, it was a bonified attempt at a shot, you are permitted to recover your own rebound. It is not an infraction to be a crappy shooter.
However, if the official thinks that you're trying to circumvent the rules, she can call a travelling violation.
