Texas's Kevin Durrant caught the ball in the post with his back to the basket and made a spin move to his right towards the lane. There is contact with the defender and the defender goes down. Durrant tries to continue his move, but trips over the defender. HE CONTINUES HIS DRIBBLE as he falls to the floor in the lane. Just at the last moment he pushes the ball to a nearby teammate. The dribble was on the side of his body nearest the division line. The Lead who passed on the contact and probably couldn't see the dribble due to the player's body now blew the whistle and called a traveling violation.

At that point I'm getting the defender for a block...there was minimal contact, the defender flopped, and subsequently tripped the dribbler...and he was a dribbler all the way to the point he passed the ball...terrible call, IMO.
