NCAA Rule Check: Travelling

[Raymond]

Only difference is when a player first controls the ball while airborne (ie: rebound; pass) and falls to the floor.

Not a travel in NCAA (no pivot foot violation), is a travel in NFHS.

Interesting. Are we talking about a fall where a foot or two lands first, or straight from air to floor (body crashing to the floor)?

Straight to the floor.

The first game I ever officiated was a military intramural game. A player got a rebound and fell in such a manner. I called nothing. After the game my partner told me it is always a travel when a player falls with the ball. Through research I discovered the different interp between college and HS rules.

BTW, an aside from that first game: Opening tip, A1 gets a breakaway lay up off the tip and B1 comes in after the ball has already passed through the basket and slaps the backboard. I call a T 5 seconds into my first ever game. My partner comes in and overrules my T. I was vindicated after the game as an official in the stands who went on to a D1 career (and became one of my best friends) told me I made the right call and my partner had no business doing what he did.

Been there. (I think we all have.) I had an elderly partner do that to me in my second year, after a called an easy backcourt after tip-off. (A-1 tipped to A-2, who was established in the frontcourt, then pivoted to the backcourt.)

Oh, that's an easy one: it's 15 years older than you.
