Easy n Dirty Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Had this situation in a pickup game the other night, got into an argument with one of those guys who thinks he knows everything (no, not Blitz). Here's the question: a guy drives the lane and goes up for a shot. It's a truly awful shot, doesn't even reach the rim. When the ball comes down, can the shooter retrieve his own rebound, even if it doesn't hit anything? I'll reserve my opinion until and if I get some responses.

Grits and Shins Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Hmmmm .... my first thought was why not? Then it occurred to me that a rule might exist to prevent "passes to oneself". It could be considered illegal much as up and down is. I'm just speculating and don't really know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Not positive but pretty sure its a travel if the ball does not hit the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 A huddle first for me, I was right: http://www.basketball.com/nba/rules/rule10.shtml See Section XIV part J. It's traveling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bier Meister Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 travelling...... so easy, you shoot like felix unger huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Yes.......traveling, or "self-pass" as we called it in my pickup playing days. My question is how can this guy get his own rebound on such a terrible shot? Building houses with those bricks or what? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
