No, this is not "a travel."

Read the definition of traveling. Traveling is moving the pivot foot outside prescribed limits while HOLDING the ball. With one exception, you cannot travel if you're not holding the ball. That is why neither of your examples is traveling.

If ever questioned on this...I've always simply stated...every player on the floor may rebound a shot attmept.

That usually ends all questions...if they say "It didn't hit anything...", I simply repeat it...

I was afraid no one would notice!

You can't travel if you're not holding the ball.*
