Holding ...

Wait a cotton picking minute.

With one very rare exception (below, only observed it called once), I thought that one had to be holding the ball to travel.

4.44.5 SITUATION B: A1 dives for a loose ball and slides after gaining control. A1 is in a position either on his/her back or stomach ... traveling if A1 puts the ball on the floor, then rises and is first to touch the ball.

Isn't an airborne player who has fumbled the ball no longer holding the ball?

4-44 : Traveling is moving a foot or feet in any direction in excess of prescribed limits while holding the ball.
