For those who don't look up the rules reference, let me just add here that the key thing to look for is this: when did the player obtain control of the ball? If the player obtains control of the ball on her feet (or while falling to the floor), as soon as she hits the floor with the ball it is a travel (regardless of momentum).
What is NOT a travel is when a player gains possession of the ball on the floor and her momentum takes her in a slide.
So, basically, if a player dives for a ball on the floor, she can continue her slide (but, as others have said, no "roll") until it ends. But a player cannot hustle for a loose ball, gain possession, and then go to floor and slide.
