Lands on the ball, tucks it into his chest and then rolls over. Also once he is on his side he moves from that position to a sitting position.

Under NCAA rules, your opinion would be incorrect.

A.R. 132 - Is it traveling when a player: ...(3) Gains control of the ball while sliding on the playing court and then, because of momentum, rolls or slides, after which the player passes or or starts a dribble before getting to his or her feet?

RULING: (3) No. The player may pass, shoot, start a dribble, or call a timeout. Once the player has the ball and is no longer sliding, he or she may not roll over. When flat on his or her back, the player may sit up without violating.
