1. refers to falling to the floor while holding the ball without maintaining a pivot foot, which of course is a violation.
2. states the player dropped to both knees without maintaining a pivot foot, of course a violation.
Yes it states it is vitually impossible to fall and maintain a pivot foot, but all 3 state that the pivot foot must move for the violation to occur. Just dropping to one knee does not mean that the pivot foot moved.
I believe this was also a quiz in a recent "Referee" magazine and it did distinguish between Fed and NCAA interpretations on dropping to one knee. Fed it is a travel violation. In NCAA the pivot foot must move.
