You guys should all know about the pivot butt. At one point in your careers you must have been told to "sit on it and rotate!!" :D

NFHS -- travel.

But I believe there was a test question on an NCAA test a couple years ago where the player fell to one knee and the answer was that this was legal, specifically because the pivot foot didn't move. Anybody else remember that? :confused:

That is the NCAA interp. If they fall "entirely" to the ground, though, it's traveling. (I'm sure that's not the exact wording -- I don't have the interp book with me)

Got a rules citation? Is there a rule which prohibits this action?
