According to the ruling below that is correct, but I happen to disagree with the provided reasoning.

Correct Answer: A Reference: 9-6; A.R.'s 100; 103; 181; 182
Total responses: 341 % Correct: 77
COMMENTARY: Answer A is actually a double-dribble violation and not a travel since her dribble ended and she started another dribble when she voluntarily threw the ball to the floor. Although answer A is not a travel, it is the only violation in the list of options. This play was taken from A.R. 182 which is erroneously located under traveling. These two facts may be why 77% of test takers answered it correctly. Option E is not a travel since a pivot foot had never been established.
================================================== =
According to 4-68-4b the action also qualifies as a traveling violation. For the writers of the above to unequivocally state that it is not is simply foolish. The answer should be that the player has violated both the traveling and dribbling rules and that either violation could be called.

And that is exactly what the A.R. in the casebook says.
A.R. 182.
A1, after:
(1) Receiving a pass; or
(2) Ending his dribble, jumps into the air on a try for goal. A1 is
contested by B1 and since he could not get his try for goal off, he
voluntarily throws the ball to the playing court.
In both (1) and (2), A1 is the first to touch the ball.

RULING: (1) A1 has committed a violation because he did not release the
ball before picking up his pivot foot.
(2) A1’s release of the ball, after being airborne, was the start of a second
dribble. When A1 touched the ball, he committed a violation.
(Rule 9-6, 4-68.4.b and 9-7)

Does the NCAAM's game have a similar interpretation to the NCAAW on landing on one's back after grabbing the ball while airborne?
