Basketball Rules: Can You Dribble After Catching an Airball?

Question
Is throwing the ball up in the air and catching and dribbling legal.

Answer
Devin,

If you mean passing to yourself no you cannot do that, that would be an illegal dribble. However, High School rules permit a player to catch their own airball as long as it's a legitimate shot attempt. At that point the player may dribble again, shoot or pass.

hope that answered your question.
