HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL RULE QUESTION???

[Tony Parker]

HS Basketball Rule Interpretation.... A1 throws for goal in the lane under his own basket. The ball does not touch the rim, backboard, or any opponent or teammate. A1 catches the air ball while still being on the ground with both feet. A1 tries for goal again. Is this travelling by National Federation of High School Rules???

No. If it is judged a shot attempt by the officials, it is not traveling as the shot resets everything. Only in the NBA is this traveling.

Not traveling. Not even a violation if A1 were to move his/her feet. If the official feels that it's a try for goal, A1 can catch his/her own airball. Tony, please collect your $5.00 (or was that last year?).
