More garbage from the NFHS

To be consistent, if it were really an illegal dribble, both (a) and (b) would be an illegal dribble since the only difference is between them is the movement of the feet (which is not relevant to the legality of a dribble) and not how the ball was handled.

A player tossing the ball into the air and catching it without it touching anything else is effectively considered to be holding the ball. Thus, it becomes a travel to move the pivot foot during such action.

The reason that palming, also known as, carrying, is a violation can be twofold. First, if the ball handler palms/carries the ball while moving, it's a travel. Second, if the ball handler palms/carries the ball while standing still, its an illegal dribble (double dribble). Two different violations, with one signal.

So a player can't catch his own airball?

Depends. Was it a legitimate try? Or was he just tossing the ball to himself? Different scenarios; different results.
