Be the Referee: Air Ball

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.
Below is this week's segment – Air Ball - Listen
We’re on the basketball court today, where a player fires up a shot that fails to make it to the basket. An air ball.
But he is able to catch the ball before anyone else touches it. Is this a traveling violation? If not – what is this player able to do now?
It is not traveling as long as the referee judges the first release of the ball as a shot attempt. After catching the shot – it’s treated the same as grabbing an offensive rebound that hit the rim. The player can now restart his dribble, pass the ball or shoot again. A shot attempt is a shot attempt regardless of it hitting the rim or backboard.
