OK, some clarifications.
1. Scramble for the ball. A1 laying lying on B1, both on the floor. A1 secures the ball & rolls off B1.
2. No one fell on anyone else. Just a mass of wriggling bodies - some on the floor some bending over - all trying to secure the same ball, which was doing its best to be very uncooperative.
3. Somehow in this mess A1 ended up laying...errr....lying across B1 as he secured the ball. B1 had zero chance of getting the ball IMO regardless of A1's position.
4. A1 (who was on his back btw on top of B1, who was also on his back btw) intentionally rolls off B1 onto the floor.
Travel? Or not?

Travel according to situation below -
If A1 rolls off of B1, and dosent attempt to pass the ball, its a 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. What can A1 do without violating? RULING: A1 may pass, shoot, start a dribble or call a time-out. Once A1 has the ball and is no longer sliding, he/she may not roll over. If flat on his/her back, A1 may sit up without violating. Any attempt to get to the feet is traveling unless A1 is dribbling. It is also traveling if A1 puts the ball on the floor, then rises and is first to touch the ball. (4-44-5b)
