Soooooo......

A player on their back who rolls on their side during the act of passing the ball to a teammate should be called for traveling if their side hits before the ball is released?

This thread is one of the many reasons why I love the basketball forum.

And on a now related note, if he rolls onto Martha or the turkey, that's just wrong.

Your premise is that they've rolled.

We don't excuse a travel just because a player is trying to pass to ball but doesn't release it until just after the pivot foot lands.

Why would we in this case?

Nope, my premise is that they didn't roll over. Iow I don't think that's traveling by rule. You do.

And therein lies the rub...
