butt ball
A player jumps and tries to make behind the back pass off the dribble, and ends up planting the ball squarely on his butt. As he lands, he drops the ball and then recovers it.
Is this a violation?
I called travel because the ball never left his hand and his pivot foot returned to the floor.
But, he did momentarily loose control when he essentially blocked his own pass with his backside, so now I am wondering.
