Had this situation last night and not sure if I got it right. A1 receives a pass at the free throw line. As he is about to attempt the shot, B1 jumps to contest the shot. Ball is released by A1 (couldn't really tell if voluntary or it slipped). Ball goes up in air a couple of feet and is not touched by B1. A1 takes a step and recovers the ball in the air. I called a travel, now I'm not so sure. What do others think constitutes a legimate try for goal? Do you look at things like the distance the ball travels or just try to interpret the player's intentions.

This is judgement on your part... if you feel it was a legimate shot attempt then you would not have a travel call... As Josh stated.. team and player control ends on a shot attempt...

I have nothing. If, the ball slips, as you said, then A1 has the right to recover it. This has been a point of emphasis in our association here in GA.

i would consider this a "muff" and allow the player to regain the ball but not to dribble(if it slipped out of hand). if it was a legit shot attempt let him recover and dribble.

I'm with tony (crew) all the way on this one.
