Catch your own fumble

Well, I'm not an official...and I hesitate to offer my opinion when some heavyweights are involved in this thread....but

in our O.S.F. Men's League (Old, Fat, Slow)when a player leaves the floor with the ball and returns with the ball, and no other player has touched it and the ball has not touched the rim/backboard, we call it a t-r-a-v-e-l.

It depends on what happened to the ball.

If they jump hold the ball and land, it's a travel.

If they jump shoot and get their own miss, it's nothing.

If they jump and lose control of the ball, it's considered a fumble, and it's nothing.
