Travel or Not?

Player A1 has control of the ball and proceeds to go down to one knee before passing the ball. If he/she maintains the pivot foot, is this a travel?

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.

4.44.5 Situation C

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."

Another traveling???

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.

In high school yes (as said above. In the NCAA, it's not a travel.

4.66.5, NCAA:
A.R. 110. Is it traveling when a player (a) falls to the playing court while holding the ball; or (b) gains control of the ball while on the playing court and then, because of momentum, rolls or slides, after which the player passes or starts a dribble before getting to his or her feet? RULING: In (a), yes, because it is virtually impossible not to move the pivot foot when falling to the playing floor. In (b), no. The player may pass, shoot, start a dribble or call a timeout. Once the player has the ball and is no longer sliding, he or she may not roll over. When flat on his or her back, the player may sit up without violating. When the player puts the ball on the floor, then rises and is the first to touch the ball, it also is traveling. When a player rises to his or her feet while holding the ball, it is traveling. When a player falls to one knee while holding the ball, it is traveling if the pivot foot moves.

You're not confused, the gambler is.
