If this were a test question based only on the wording of the rule "maintaining" then I'm with BNR. Now the rules folks may not have meant it that way but that is what the language they have used means. |

By the letter of the rule i think you are correct. a guy lands on his back without his feet hitting the floor isn't travel, yet. Also by the letter of the rule, when either foot touches the floor it becomes the pivot. The player in the op didn't gain control on the floor so he doesn't get the benefit of the sliding/slash sitting up provisions. I havnt ever seen a player fall and keep both feet up in the air etc. A player may fall and hit with feet up first but at some point, very soon after, one is going to touch floor…and move etc.

An NCAAM approved ruling for this situation would be welcome.

I'd save it for something else. You've had it twice in a career I think u said. I really think the way college rules are written that if his foot or heal touches the floor, even after he has landed entirely on his backside, that foot becomes a pivot and a player isn't going to keep it or even know to try and keep it while laying on floor. It's going to be travel
