Had our girl's basketball interpretation last night. NCAA Rules are used at the HS Level. Our board is located in NY State. The following interpretations were handed out by our interpreter:

Traveling situations clarified:

Play 1 - A1 jumps into the air and catches the ball. She returns to the floor by landing on (a) her back or stomach OR (b) her knees.

Is this legal or a travel?

Play 2 - A1 is attempting to secure a loose ball. Her foot is still in contact with the court as she is falling to the floor. She gains control of the ball and then lands on her knees.

Same question!

Play 3- A1 gains possession of the ball with her left knee and right foot firmly on the floor. Her right foot does not move as she lifts her knee and stands up.

Play 4 - A1 has possession of the ball with both feet firmly on the floor. (a) Her right foot does not move as she touches her left knee to the floor and (b) She stands up after touching her knee to the floor as in (a).

Play 5 - A1 has possession of the ball with both feet firmly on the floor. (a) The toes of her right foot remain on the floor as she touches her right knee to the floor and (b) She stands up after touching her knee to the floor as in (a).

I'll post the response by Barbara Jacobs, NCAA Women's Basketball editor after a few comments are posted. Please explain your rationale when ruling.
