we screwed this up royally

[Kansas Ref]

Last night in men's wreck league game this action occurred and it was whistled a travelling violation--we screwed it up (I say 'we' because me an partner are viewed as a "crew"):

Player A1 obtains the defensive rebound and is quite off-balance due to some jostling for the free-ball, then while holding ball with both hands he falls down but [no pun intended] just before his bottom hits the floor (while he's falling down) he initiates a dribble with one hand. He lands on his bottom while bracing his self with left hand, then sits on his bottom for a second and then stands up all while uninterruptedly dribbling the ball, then advances up the court while still dribbling. Partner in the trail position calls ''travel''.
I was sprinting back upcourt to occupy my lead position, but my head is turnt back looking at the action. Hmmm...
