Receiving your own shot attempt
Question
I just read your answer to a player being able to receive his/her own shot attempt if it does not hit anything. The real question is: can that player then dribble after rebounding his/her own shot attempt or does the player have to put the ball back up directly without a dribble?
Answer
HI Richard,
That is a very good question. The player MAY dribble the ball after rebounding their own shot attempt as if they were rebounding anybody's missed shot. The rule about rebounding your own missed shot, however does not apply in the NBA only.
can a player be the last to touch a ball both inbound and out?
