If a player who hasn't yet dribbled throws a pass, then recovers the pass himself before anyone else touches it, is it traveling? On the playground, "self-pass" would be called every time. But the rules seem to allow starting a dribble by throwing the ball. Given that, couldn't a player run up to his untouched pass and start dribbling? Or is the official supposed to make a judgment that he intended to pass, not dribble? Either way, I haven't found a rule forbidding the so-called self-pass.
Thanks for any replies!
