The way I look at it, if the floor causes a "travel", I've got nothing. Would you have handled it this way (had the floor mopped at half, and the sliding stopped)?

I think you handled it very well. Some of my rec games are in church gyms (tile floors), and they can be very slippery. I know because I slipped on one about 4 years ago and broke my wrist (was transitioning from trail to lead on a steal). Didn't know it was actually broken until I got home and went to emergency room -- thought it was just sprained.
