If a player with control of the ball goes to the floor, it is traveling as soon as any part of the player's body except for their hand or foot hits the floor. NFHS rule 4-44-5(a).
You look to see when the player has control--i.e. holding the ball. If the player gains control before hitting the floor, it is a travel as soon as they hit the floor. If they gain control after they hit the floor, they can finish the natural movements of the motion that they were in when they gained control--i.e. sliding, rolling. Reading case book plays 4.44.5SitA,B, C & D will be helpful.
