Thanks Raymond.

NBA Section XIII—Traveling
A player may not be the first to touch his own pass unless the ball touches his backboard, basket ring or another player.

So this below would be illegal by NBA rules. Interesting.

Situation 6: A1 jumps from the floor and secures a defensive re-bound. A1 then pivots toward the sideline where a teammate, A2, is standing for an outlet pass. Just as A1 releases the pass, A2 turns and runs down the court. A1 throws a soft bounce pass to where A2 was standing. A1 then moves and secures the ball without dribbling. RULING: Legal action. A1 had the pivot foot on the floor and began a dribble by throwing the ball to the floor (the bounce pass); the dribble ended when A1 secured the ball. Upon reaching the ball, A1 also could have continued the dribble. (4-15-3,4)

Seems odd to me to see a rulebbok without the slashed pronoun his/her.
