No you cannot, unless you don't move your feet. Otherwise it would be a travelling violation.

The above interpretation is incorrect for the NCAA. Below is from the NCAA rules casebook:

Traveling

A.R. 114. 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.

Contrary to what everyone believes, there is no "correct" way to shoot a basketball. This goes for left handed and right handed people. Whatever way works for you is the correct way.

First, put your left foot slightly forward (ahead of your right) and make sure your feet are shoulder width apart. Then have your shooting hand (in your case your left) behind the ball [in front of your face] and your right hand on the side, almost making a T shape. Then bend your legs and follow through. USE YOUR LEGS NO JUST YOUR ARMS!!!
