NCAA Rule Check: Travelling

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.
