Traveling?
A1 is dribbling, slips but continues his dribble. His knees are now touching the floor. Is it a travel as soon as he stops the dribble? Or would this be similar to the rules when there is a scramble for the ball?

A player can't move beyond prescribed limits when holding the ball. The player was dribbling when his knees went to the floor, obviously this isn't traveling because he's dribbling. He then stops the dribble with both knees on the floor.
Has he moved beyond prescribed limits when holding the ball? |

I apologize if I misunderstood your replies. :confused:
I was not asking whether A1 traveled when he slipped but continued the dribble. I clearly understand that no travel can happen when he is dribbling. My question was more on "did he travel when he stopped his dribble and was now kneeling/seated on the floor (assuming that he doesn't stand up while holding the ball)?" |

Rather than officiate by all of these cutesy rules of thumb that people create, I'd prefer to only penalize a player when he actually does something illegal. |
