If a rebounder catches the ball in the air, and then falls,(e.i. touch the floor with something besides hands/feet) I believe you'd call a travel without thinking about it. I think it's a similar situation.
I think the rule is if you are holding a live ball, and touch the floor with anything but your hands and/or feet, it is a travel. I guess the options are call time out real quick, or somehow start a dribble. |

The player would have to control the ball prior to leaving the floor on the 'dive" before it's a violation. If he/she gains control in flight, no violation.

If anyone has a copy of "Seven Deadly Sins of Officiating" published in Referee Magazine, they address this exact sitch. The player can land directly on his/her torso, and even slide without rolling over without a violation if possesion is gained after the player is airborne.

A player landing on their back and staying on their back is no different than a player landing on their feet and staying on their feet. The rule you are emphasizing uses the word FALL. Falling requires that you be standing or upright first.

Methinks that you should re-read the Referee reference. I'm sure that they wouldn't screw up a basic rule that badly. |
