I don't have my books with me or I'd look it up, but I'm not sure I agree with your interpretation. I may be wrong.
It was my understanding that when diving for a loose ball, if your momentum causes you to slide, then there's no call. However, I thought that any roll, slide, or tumble from front to back or vice versa would be a travel.
