The "running bobble"

Had a play this afternoon right in front of me where a girl caught a pass on a fast break, fumbled it , regained control and laid it in. The ball never hit the ground and the fumble about about the free throw line. I was Lead tableside, and the bench right next to me goes crazy wanting a travel. I shake my head and give the "no control" signal, and then Center comes from 50 feet away calling travelling. Thanks bro. Then at halftime Center gave me a lecture about using "unofficial" signals and how he only came cuz he was 110% sure. I smiled and didn't say anything back. On to the next game!
