NCAA Rule Check: Travelling
On the way home from my game tonight, I listened to a college game, Boston University at Maine. I've known our play-by-play guy for years.

During the game, the announcer said the official missed a travel as a BU player "lost a hold of the ball." Now, before I tear into my buddy, I just want to double-check.

Are the rules regarding control and travelling the same in the NCAA as they are in NFHS?

Almost exactly the same. (I want to say exactly, but there's probably some tiny difference).

The same.

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.)

Please, define "elderly" . . .

About five inches. Not a lot, but enough to cover the frozen brown ground.
