20 Years Experience
Chicago, IL
Male, 60
For twenty years I officiated high school, AAU and park district basketball games, retiring recently. For a few officiating is the focus of their occupation, while for most working as an umpire or basketball referee is an avocation. I started ref'ing to earn beer money during college, but it became a great way to stay connected to the best sports game in the universe. As a spinoff, I wrote a sports-thriller novel loosely based on my referee experiences titled, Advantage Disadvantage
I am going to allow the other team a movement toward the basket, but as soon as they reverse or dump out i stop the play, UNLESS the downed player is in immediate danger.

If, while blocking the shot, the offense and defense are pushing the ball in opposite directions then it is a held (jump) ball.
However, if the defender blocks the ball out of the hands of the shooter and the shooter recovers, the shooter lost ball control (you cannot travel without ball control) and then regains ball control and lands - no traveling.
Share Answer: 
When he hit the ball up in the air he did not have possession. When he retrieves the bouncing ball by dribbling it he gains possession. So no carrying... unless he had possession while saving the ball, highly unlikely.
