RULING ...
When a player rises to his feet while holding the ball and moves the pivot foot, it is traveling. When a player falls to one knee while holding the ball, it is traveling if the pivot foot moves.

Which means (to summarize) that the college rule is in fact different. NFHS doesn't allow for either a player to rise or fall even partially regardless of the pivot foot's status while NCAA does allow rising/falling if a pivot foot is maintained.
