Violations

[Valley Man]

Several scenarios running through my head after taking in a high school game last night. Can't quite make these fit into my rationale. Reference from rules would help please.

A1 falls to floor after picking up dribble.
(travel)
A1 falls on top of B1 after picking up dribble.
(not a travel until A1 touches the floor)
A1 falls on top of B1 after picking up dribble and B1 is laying OOB.
(not OOB until B1 touches the ball or A1 touches the floor)
A1 falls on top of B1 after chasing a loose ball to the bench and B1 is sitting on the chair.
(OOB because the chair is an object OOB)

The last is not correct -- if A1 touches B1, it doesn't matter that B1 is in a chair. If A1 touches the chair, A1 is OOB.

You also need to consider a foul in any of the "falls on" scenarios (but I know you're focusing only on the travelling aspects)

That was the one that I could not make fit. I read the touching of the scorer's table in the rule book and let that confuse me.

There was not a foul on play 2 last night, but I understand about looking at the possibility of a foul.

A player is OOB if s/he touches an object OOB. Note that it's "person" not "player" and a person is not an object*.

* -- most of the time when I hear that phrase, it's followed by "you sexist pig."

So, A1 chases the ball, leaps and catches it in the air, but lands A) on B1, who is lying entirely OOB, or B) lands on the team members sitting on the bench. A1 then passes the ball back to A2, who is inbounds. Rulings?

As far as out of bounds violations go, yes.
