What Am I Missing Here ???

Once a player becomes airborne, he must pass or shoot, unless he executes a proper jump stop.

Sounds good Nevadaref. Thanks.

Do you have any citations to support your interpretation?

Keep in mind, that unlike your rebounder situation, my situation has the player with an already established, and identified, pivot foot, that stays in the air (off the floor) within legal limits. My question deals with the non-pivot foot.
