This is one thing I've always had a hard time with. Players sliding on the floor, or falling down and sliding on thier back or stomachs with the ball.... is this a travel because they never took a step.

Situations

A1 fast break decides h e wants to stops throws his right foot down witih his left foot already on the ground and slides on bothe feet? Travel or no call?

A1 dribbles to the basket looses his balance for some reasons falls on this back and slides... travel or no call?


Checked the rule books - couldnt find anything. MAybe I wasnt looking hard enough.

In situation 2 if he had his dribble and gained possession
on the floor,no violation.
