Traveling?

[Rob1968]

To my understanding, NCAA and NFHS have different opinions of this movement.

ART. 5 . . . A player holding the ball:
a. May not touch the floor with a knee or any other part of the body other than hand or foot
b. After gaining control while on the floor and touching with other than hand or foot, may not attempt to get up or stand.

I've passed on a few players taking their knee off the floor, but usually I consider it an attempt to get up

4.44.5B: Any attempt to get to the feet is traveling unless A1 is dribbling.

Again, it all depends on whether you deem the action an attempt to get or stand up, or if the player was just repositioning. If the player keeps the one knee on the ground and just stays like that for a few seconds, I don't think that would be determined as an attempt to get up.

Correct -- NCAA (at least W) it's only if the pivot foot moves. It always does.
