Wrong basket

I did. However, just before they came back on the court, their coach was feeding them a whole bunch of instructions. Poor kid.

Let me add one more question to this.
What if A2, after picking up her dribble, would have shot from say 10 feet away at the opponent’s basket and then the ball hits the rim only (not the backboard) and the ball does not go in the basket. A2 then runs over and catches her rebound. Would this also be an illegal dribble or a travel (not sure which)? Wouldn’t this be the same as the player passing the ball to her self?
