We had a long discussion on this previously.
I stated then that 180 is the cut-off point. This allows a player to turn from side to side, but not roll over. I still call it that way and haven't had any problems doing so. |

Reference? I'd say that rolling from left side to the right side is a travel every time.

Agreed. If he goes from his butt to his hip, I have traveling.

With one major difference: The rules will back you up on block/charge and most other close calls. From what I can see, there's far more gray area in a "rolling travel."

Sometimes you just have to call the game. |

My point earlier was there isn't any practical way to make this particular call more black and white.

For example, to use a variation of 4-44-5b, an additional definition of travelling could read, "after gaining control while on the floor and lying on his/her back or torso, may not roll to his/her side." (or vice versa, side to back/torso) Mind you, I'm not saying the line should be drawn where I wrote it. It just needs to be drawn somewhere, so we're all on the same page. Yes, there's judgment in most everything we do, but at least there are clearly written bases for our judgments. It's these words that help keep us consistent. |

And you would have no problem defining when the player was "on his side" as opposed to almost "on his side"?
