I understand that the definition of traveling for a player on the ground simplifies to either rolling over or getting up, rather than the ref trying to establish where the pivot foot is or whether or not a foot was dragged.
I know NCAA recently changed the goaltend rule such that once a shot attempt hits the backboard, it's assumed to be on its downward flight. Most shots seem to have backspin, so I suppose it's rare for a ball hitting the backboard to still be on the way up although it's not impossible. That was always rather hard to judge, although it's always been tough trying to figure out if a shot was on the way down even without hitting the backboard.
