Falling with the ball...sort of
Funky play tonight. Kid jumps up for the ball, doesn't control it, bats it around a bit, falls to the ground, finally gains control with feet off ground as he is falling. He lands, slides a bit, and passes the ball to a teammate.
I passed on the call because his feet were off the ground when he finally gained control, but I am doubting my decision. Any clarification? What if he bobbled it the whole way down, and doesn't control it until he is on the ground? Legal play, right?

You say he gained control with his feet off the floor. Are you saying some other body part was already touching the floor? If he gained control after he was already on the floor, no travel unless he rolls over or attempts to stand up.

It happened so fast obviously, but I had him bobbling the ball as he was falling, and whether he secured it right before he hit the ground, or right after was too close to call.
It was an awkward fall, so I can't recall exactly what body parts were off the floor.

I had two strange ones like this in one game last week; the girl had control while her feet were on the floor but fell, as she hits the ground the ball pops out (contact with the floor caused the "fumble"). I called the travel because she fell, but have been second guessing myself. I looked in rule book but could not find anything definitive.
