Before it is a travelling violation the player has to fail to maintain the pivot foot. Just dropping to one knee does not mean the player failed to maintain the pivot foot in NCAA.
Case Book A.R. 117.3 "When a player falls to one knee while holding the ball, it is traveling if the pivot foot moves." (Rule 4-70.6 and 4-70.1) |

And you did notice, "because it is virtually impossible not to move the pivot foot when falling to the playing floor" in the ruling on 1 & 2?

1. refers to falling to the floor while holding the ball without maintaining a pivot foot, which of course is a violation.
2. states the player dropped to both knees without maintaining a pivot foot, of course a violation. Yes it states it is vitually impossible to fall and maintain a pivot foot, but all 3 state that the pivot foot must move for the violation to occur. Just dropping to one knee does not mean that the pivot foot moved. I believe this was also a quiz in a recent "Referee" magazine and it did distinguish between Fed and NCAA interpretations on dropping to one knee. Fed it is a travel violation. In NCAA the pivot foot must move. |

It might be a judgment call in NCAA but it's also automatic. Traveling is called. It's the expected and accepted call.

Yes, that is one rule that the fanatics seem to comprehend

Case book play 4.44.5 Situation B answers your question exactly.

Most of that, too.

Understanding the rules of "traveling vs not traveling", at least for me, is the easy part.
The hard part is being able to pick out the traveling violations in a game situation. As it stands right now, at least once a game I'll see a traveling violation, and my brain will lock up and do the "ummm... uh.... uh..... oh yeah, that's a travel" routine. The problem is that by the time my brain gets to "that's a travel", 2-3 seconds have passed and it's really too late to call it. It also seems like my partners usually are calling more traveling violations then I am during the course of a game. Any tips on how I can improve my "that's a travel" awareness? |

I know they tell us to referee the defense, but identifying the pivot foot as soon as the player receives the ball is really the only way to adjudicate properly...
Try a team officiating concept on post entry passes: L - officiates the defender(s) T - picks up the pivot foot C - prepare for the curl play
