2000-2001 NFHS Basketball Interpretations Supplement #1
Situation 1: A1 is an airborne shooter preparing to release the ball on a shot attempt. Instead of releasing the ball on the try, A1 fumbles the ball (while still in the air) and drops it. A1 then returns to the floor and secures possession of the ball. Ruling: Traveling violation. While airborne the ball must be released for a try or pass. (4—43-3a; 94)

Found this while looking for something else today.

Yes, the NFHS has long ago spoken on this matter. Some will still insist otherwise, however.

I was one of those who insisted otherwise, but I've been "born again" after finding this twenty-one year old interpretation.
