I am always getting into arguments with people in pickup games regarding the rule of catching your own shot attempt. We're not playing NBA rules, but high-school rules. (I live in Illinois, so our park-district leagues use IHSA rules). Maybe it's the same in other states as well. Not sure about college.

If a player attempts a shot and that shot is not blocked nor does it hit the rim or backboard (i.e., air ball), the same player IS ALLOWED to rebound the ball. Everybody always says that this is travelling, but it's not. As long as in the opinion of the official, it's a shot attempt, then it's not travelling.

I am looking for hard documentation on this specific case. Does anybody know where I can find such documentation? Also, does anybody know if this is a national high school rule, and if this rule applies in college basketball as well?
