Travel ...
Thirty-eight years and I've never seen this, nor will I probably ever see it again.
I observed two of my friends working a state tournament game a few nights ago and one of them nailed this odd and rare casebook call. 4.44.5 SITUATION B: A1 dives for a loose ball and slides after gaining control. A1 is in a position either on his/her back or stomach ... traveling if A1 puts the ball on the floor, then rises and is first to touch the ball. Not too shabby.

Doubting that scenario will ever happen but now that I have mentioned it, probably happen next week.

Nice.
Also important to note that "put the ball on the floor" doesn't mean dribble, as it's colloquially used. It means to literally set the ball on the floor and then pick it up after rising. It would be easy to read this language as not being allowed to dribble while you rise, which would be incorrect. |

I would love to know who came up with this ruling and their rational behind it. I presume that the traveling rule and pivot foot requirements were years ahead of this play. Someone then decided that it would be considered traveling even though the player is neither holding the ball nor controlling it. Plus, they cared in the first place that it was even an action that should be considered illegal.
