I thought it was a legal play once he then passed it off.

Did your partner say he called the travel b/c A1 slid too far?

Well, of course he did! I like to ask the coach in those situations (in which my partners know the rule ), "Coach, can you tell me what the distance is, in the rule book?" Cause, there is a distance (not actually in the rule book, but, I believe it would be about 106.5 feet).

This assumes a player would commence his dive at one corner of a 50x94 foot court and stop just prior to going out of bounds at the corner diagonal to the start of his dive.....and the co-efficient of friction does not stop him prior to reaching the corner...also assumes his own momentum carried him off the court (otherwise a violation could have been called) and he came back onto the court going at a very high rate of speed.

Love it... I just wish I could condense this down enough to use it on a coach.
