I can not find the situation specifically stated in the official rules nor the interpretations governing FIBA.

There are no rules on "airballs".

Look under shot attempts. Once you've determined its a shot attempt, airball or not you follow same expectation.

If you don't think its a attempt. Rules for passing/dribbles/fumbles and footwork would apply.
