Good basket or no basket?

Bobbled = No control = No traveling. I'd say good basket.

I'm sorry, but I'm not understanding your comment. The question (I think) was whether it was legal to take 2 or more steps while bobbling the ball and then putting it in the basket. I say, yes, it's legal.

Did I misunderstand the original post, too?

It is a bobble - No possession and no Violation and no call.

It is pretty hard to sell a no call.

The explaination to the coach is simple
Bobble = no possession = no violation

Stop sign
Penalize the insanity!

You answered your own question. Once you lose control of the ball, you can't travel.

We've debated this before. There is a past thread on the forum in which BktBallRef and JR state that this is traveling and I believe Bob Jenkins provided an old interp stating that.

I'll see if I can find the thread.

Travel?
