Okay, what about put the ball on the floor and hold it down while getting up but never pick up the ball. Hold it until someone else came and got it. I saw this happen and had no clue what to think!! I gave the kid the no-call for being creative (the other coach didn't feel quite so charitable)

It's no different, it's still traveling. If he's holding it, even if it's touching the floor, he still has player control. Had I not known the rule, I would have probably called this a travel before I would have called the case book play a violation.
