I understand that 9.5.1 is not exactly the play under consideration. But it establishes, does it not, that a player may leave the floor with control, have control terminate then be reestablished, then legally return to the floor? [/B][/QUOTE]No, it sureasheck doesn't. The legality of the play depends on the type of control that is terminated in the air. 9.5.1 says that if team control ends, it's legal to return to the floor. If team control doesn't end, it's a travel- or a held ball if a defender stopped the player from releasing the ball.

Simple as that.
