Okay, this post won't really be about heads and shoulders, but there are some knees and feet.
Yesterday, girls scrambling for the ball, one player sits down but her legs are folded so she's resting on her butt, and both knees are touching the floor also. (a) She shifts her weight up off her butt and then is up on both knees. Is that travelling?
(b) Then she lifts one knee and puts that foot on the floor, so that she's in the "I dub thee Lady McCann" position. Is that travelling?
Then she lifts the knee that was on the floor. I know that's travelling. But I didn't see it. I was too close to the play. My partner had to blow it from 35 feet. I was glad he did, when he told me about it, but unhappy at the moment. (c) I guess I should have stepped back (I was lead)? But I had stepped closer to see the ball. Gotta figure out how to handle this.
Corollary questions: (1) It's not travelling if a player with the ball is laying on her back, and then sits up. Is it then travelling to fold the legs back so she's in the position that my player above was in at the beginning of the play I described?
(2) If a player is on one knee when she retrieves the ball, and then puts down the other knee and picks up the knee that was down, is that travelling?
(3) If any of these actions legal as described, but they are committed in a hasty overlapping style, are they travelling?
