Travel in both cases. BTW - what's a "flore"?

4.43.5 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. What can A1 do without violating?

RULING: A1 may pass, shoot, start a dribble or call a time-out. Once A1 has the ball and is no longer sliding, he/she may not roll over. If flat on his/her back, A1 may sit up without violating. Any attempt to get to the feet is traveling unless A1 is dribbling. <B>It is also traveling if A1 puts the ball on the floor, then rises and is first to touch the ball.</b>

that's southern for Floor

that is what I called and a veteran corrected me. I kept my mouth closed, thanked him and moved on.

ps- at the next meeting I'll think about showing him 4.43.5

It's kind of a "circumventing the rules" type deal, such as lifting the pivot foot from the lane but not moving out of the lane.

Good call!
