Why do idiots say an Airball is

I actually got into a big argument with a friend about this like a year ago. 

I since then learned it's a rule only applied to the nba but imo it should be the same on every level except before high school

It is just stupid to be able to legally self pass to yourself on the grounds that you made a legitimate attempt to shoot.  Shouldn't fly after 6th or 7th grade.

straight out of the NCAA rule book:
A.R. 110.

A1 attempts a try at Team A’s basket after having completed the dribble.
The try does not touch the backboard, the ring or the flange or any other
player. A1 runs and catches the ball before it strikes the playing court.
Is this traveling?
RULING: No. When A1 recovered his or her own try, A1 could either dribble,
pass or try again. There is no team control by either team when a try is
in flight. However, when the shot clock expires and a try by A1 or a
teammate has not struck the ring or the flange, it shall be a violation of
the shot-clock rule. (Rule 4-68.1, 4-15.4.c and 9-11.2)

straight out of the NFHS rule book:
4.44 SITUATION B: A1 attempts a try after ending the dribble.
The try does not touch the backboard, the rim or any other player. A1 runs
and is able to catch the ball before it strikes the
floor. Is this traveling? RULING: No. When A1 recovered his/her own
try, A1 could either dribble, pass or try again. There was no team control
after the ball was released
on a try. (4-12; 4-41).
so unless u clearly state you are playing by NBA rules, you sir are the idiot

I've been campaigning this topic since I first found out you can catch your own airball. It's like telling 13th century people that the Earth is round.

its pickup ball, everything is just a matter of if someone calls it or not. Gotta pick your spots of when to bother with an argument.

Yeah, I always thought you could catch an airball, so long as you are actually attempting a shot at the basket.

Like everyone else has said, that rule is different only in the NBA. So it comes down to do you guys play NBA or NCAA or NFHS rules which is something no1 discusses so it's really just who argues better/louder will win.
