Basketball or Soccer

[mbyron]

1. Legal.

2. Whether this constitutes traveling depends on whether you judge that the player was holding the ball. The rules do not define 'holding' the ball: in this case, it seems clear that the player was in control of the ball despite not holding it in his hands. I would call traveling.

3. Judgment call regarding a kick. If I knew that the team was made up of soccer players, I might be inclined to regard this as intentional rather than luck if the "pass" went directly to a team mate who was open for a layup.
