Personally, I'm calling travel is the player rolls from one surface of the body to another. They can wobble all they want but when the contact point(s) completely, they've rolled over. For example....If they're on thier back/butt and roll to the side such that there hip is touching the floor and their butt is no longer touching the floor, I consider that rolling over. I don't think it is neccesary to wait until their belly touches to consititute a roll-over.

If they secure the ball on their side, you won't let them roll to their back ?
I bet you will.

In most cases yes...since that will probably occur at the same time and be part of their momentum in getting to the ball. Once they've settled on that side however and are not moving, a change to a different surface will be a travel.

There is no precise definition of what "over" is. In my mind, it doesn't take 180 degrees to be "over".
