Travel or Not?

[tjones1]

If they are holding the ball, it's a travel. They aren't allowed to touch the floor with something other than a hand or foot. If they are dribbling, it's legal.

Legal in NCAA. A.R. 110 after Rule 4-66.5: "When a player falls to one knee while holding the ball, it is traveling if the pivot foot moves."

Can a player catch a pass and slide their feet to a stop? The floor was slick. I have asked several officials and get about 75% No that it is a traveling vioaltion and 25% yes they can slide.
Can a player slide on thefloor when diving for a ball, then why not on their feet?

Technically, no. By common sense, if the floor is that bad, either "maybe" or "yes".

Discretion. Our rec leagues traditionally have very slick floors in some of the cafeteria/gyms and we let a little slide - especially at the younger ages.

Tanner, The OP is asking about a player who is standing on his feet. The Case Book play you referenced concerns a player who has dived to the floor and is on his stomach or back.

JR would tell you apples to oranges.

True, but he also asked "can be slide on the floor while diving for the ball" -- yes. Then why not on their feet -- that's already been answered.

That's how I took it anyways..sorry for the confusion.

You're not confused, the gambler is.
