I have seen them fall to the floor without having establish a pivot foot in the first place.

So would that be traveling in NCAA?

I would consider diving to the floor to get a loose ball be the same as falling to the floor without a pivot foot. So, I don't think falling to the floor without having established a pivot foot is a violation.

Incorrect. To be legal the player has to obtain control of the ball after being on the floor. Having control (holding the ball) and then falling to the floor is always a violation.

If the ball is loose, then the player doesn't possess it. And if a player doesn't possess the ball, how does he establish a pivot foot?

Travel...although the call would have been easier if I wasn't straight lined by the score of the game.
