Possession is holding the ball. Generally.....
If you have possession and then fall to the floor, you've traveled. That includes touching a knee.
If you gain possession after falling to the floor, you haven't traveled.
If you gained possession while sliding or rolling over on the floor, you can legally finish your slide or roll as per your momentum without traveling.
If you gain possession on the floor, it's traveling if you then try to get up or stand.
If you gain possession on the floor laying on your stomach or back, you can't roll over. If you are flat on your back, you can legally sit up.
Good for both NFHS and NCAA rulesets, I believe. NBA is different.
