A1 runs over to the bouncing ball, and while stationary, recovers it.

Violation?

A1 is dribbling in the backcourt and throws a 2-handed pass 20ft into the frontcourt; A1 then runs, stops to get stationary, and retrieves the ball. Violation?

Does the distance, or being stationary make a difference?

No, but the fact that he was dribbling first and ended the dribble to attempt the "pass" does.

(I know you know that, but I don't want any readers to come away with the impression that any "self pass" is a violation.")
