Of course this matters. Incidental contact means it has no effect on the play, so a travel would still be the call. Non-incidental contact would be a foul on the offending player, causing the ball to become dead so the travel would not matter.

Impossible. If the contact "made him loose [sic] balance" then it wasn't incidental.

Also this means if a player dives for a would be out of bound ball and doesn't let go of the ball before his body reach the floor he gets a travel?
No. He "gets" an OOB violation.

In this case what if he let go of the ball after getting the ball and let's go of the ball before his body touches the floor and regain possession of the ball after he's on the floor?
If he's still OOB, then it's an OOB violation. If he's inbounds, then it's legal. He might have "used" his dribble.

I did not think it was a travel when I saw the replay, I certainly see nothing in video that makes me change my mind. No control or control I am comfortable calling.

Peace

Incidental contact does not necessarily mean it had no impact. Incidental contact could also be contact for which the player who fell is responsible, or contact for which neither player was responsible; even if that contact knocks one or both players to the floor.

NFHS. If a player goes to the ground with possession of the ball, it's a travel.

Players are only exempt from this if they gain control while already on the floor.

In the NFHS it's clearly spelled out with a case play, so definitely no dispute there.

And the rule is clear (at least to me)
