ART. 25 TRAVELLING

ART. 25 TRAVELLING

Statement
It is not a violation if a player who is lying on the floor gains control of the ball. Similarly it is not a violation if a player who is holding the ball falls unintentionally to the floor. It is also possible that the momentum of a player who is moving at the time he/she falls will cause that player to slide briefly which is also legal. If, however, the player then rolls or attempts to stand while holding the ball, a violation occurs.

Example 1:
A3, while holding the ball, loses balance and falls to the floor.

ВИДЕО ПРИМЕР 1:


Interpretation:
A3’s action of unintentionally falling to the floor is legal.

Example 2:
A3, while lying on the floor, gains control of the ball. A3 then:

(a) Passes the ball to A4.

ВИДЕО ПРИМЕР 2:


(b) Begins a dribble while still lying on the floor.

ВИДЕО ПРИМЕР 3:


(c) Attempts to stand while still holding the ball.

ВИДЕО ПРИМЕР 4:


Interpretation:
In (a) and (b), the action of A3 is legal.
In (c), a travelling violation has occurred.

Example 3:
A3, while holding the ball, falls to the floor. His momentum causes A3 to slide along the floor before coming to a stop.

ВИДЕО ПРИМЕР 5:


Interpretation:
The unintentional sliding action of A3 does not constitute a violation.

However, if A3 now rolls or attempts to stand while still holding the ball a travelling violation occurs.
