Definitely a travel.
Even if the player had secured the rebound in the air and then came straight down on his back (or butt!) without his feet even touching the floor it is a travel.
Gee you guys are tough. Must be US rules only. I would not make a call but have a whistle to stop play and prevent injury to player on floor. Then as team A had control they get the ball back. FIBA says falling to ground is not a travel unless something further occurs. This is a play you gotta see to be sure.
