In response to question by irefbb2,
If A1 has used dribble, then falls to the floor and places ball down to stop the fall, has A1 traveled? Can A1 put a hand or knee down and not violate? My books are at home, but I seem to remember that the offensive player could put down another hand or their non-pivot foot without violation, but the ball or knee did in fact cause a violation. Help me with this one, please! |

Brian, I think you are looking at 2 different plays. The player is not down on floor and getting up. I think player is standing, then uses the ball to catch his fall, never releasing the ball and never violating the pivot foot.
