While the NCAA book does not have a rule which explicitly says so, the interpretation is the same as evidenced by this approved ruling from the casebook.

Traveling

A.R. 103.

Is it traveling when a player:

37

(1) Falls to the playing court while holding the ball without maintaining
a pivot foot; or
(2) Falls to the playing court on both knees while holding the ball
without maintaining a pivot foot; or
(3) Gains control of the ball while on the playing court and then,
because of momentum, rolls or slides, after which the player passes or
starts a dribble before getting to his or her feet?

RULING: (1) and (2) Yes, because it is virtually impossible not to move the
pivot foot when falling to the playing floor.
(3) No. The player may pass, shoot, start a dribble or call a timeout. Once
the player has the ball and is no longer sliding, he or she may not roll over.
When flat on his or her back, the player may sit up without violating.
When the player puts the ball on the floor, then rises and is the first to
touch the ball, it also is traveling. When a player rises to his or her feet
while holding the ball, it is traveling. When a player falls to one knee while
holding the ball, it is traveling if the pivot foot moves.
