If in one motion, a player jumps, uses both hands for an offensive rebound and shoots/tips the ball to the basket, is that considered to be a possession by that player? Situation came up where the player put up an air ball and caught the ball to shoot again.

I'm sure that you can tip the ball with one hand repetively as you attempt to shoot the ball.

A legitamate attempt at shooting is being made and if it slips away or simply makes no contact with the basket, net or board is still legal from what I've been taught. In the old days(3 plus) years ago we called it a self pass but if you think about it, the intent is to allow the player to continue to compete.
