Traveling and falling down
In HS is it automatically a travel when a player falls to the ground holding the ball? I thought it was, but have seen several plays in the last week where it wasn’t called, so I was wondering if I was wrong. (In several there was at least arguably a foul that caused the fall—but I though it needed to be either a foul or a travel, not a nothing.)

I've Fallen And I Can't Get Up ...

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.

More often than you might think, a player falling down while holding the ball lets go of the ball to free up hands to brace the fall, then gets the ball back when on the floor. This, of course, is perfectly legal.

Multiple Choices ...

But he can pass, shoot, start a dribble (if he hasn't dribbled already), request a timeout; or if the player is flat on his back, that player may sit up. These are all legal acts, and are not violations. Play on. Wow. Basketball officials need to know a lot of stuff.

A Pennsylvania Coach in an above post. I extrapolated my case from his but the technical actions appear to be the same. A player, in control of the ball, loses control, falls, and then gains control.

Well, now you can have a debate with A Pennsylvania Coach.

I guarantee you in his scenario the ball hits the ground, hence the word "drops".
