Now the difference is what exactly constitutes "rolling over." That is at the discretion of the official. For me the player has to go 180 degrees or more. Side to side ok, but front to back or back to front is a travel.

Thanks for the info on the rule. The play I saw last night was a clear front-to-back roll. Laying flat on his stomach a player gathered the ball, others were trying to get after it and he rolled over on his back and sat up, then called timeout.

Perhaps they've been guided not to call this...or perhaps they just don't call this...but it would have been an easy call for me in a HS game, and one for which I don't think I'd have caught anything from the coach.
