Agree, but let's be careful to not confuse the young'uns.

A player is in control of the ball when he/she is holding or dribbling
a live ball.

A tap for goal is the contacting of the ball with any part of a player’s
hand(s) in an attempt to direct the ball into his/her basket.


The definitions in the NFHS Rulebook may not be the same as the definitions in Funk and Wagnalls.

Agree...that is precisely my point.

The player never held the ball while on the floor....it was more of a hand-check!

He did potentially travel when he stood up and grabbed the ball...he may have grabbed it before his knee lifted but that is really close and I'd lean towards no travel on that one too.
