Travel question

[bard]

Here's my rookie opinion, although I don't know the NBA rules. If a player went from stomach to knees while holding the ball, it's a travel.

If the player is on his/her stomach, put the ball down, stood up, and then picked the ball up, I have no violation. I would consider putting the ball on the floor the beginning of the dribble. The dribble ends when he/she picks the ball back up.

How's that sound????
