Despite what I too heard several different announcers say this season, as well as multiple fans sitting around me, no sliding with the ball is not traveling. Once you stop, if you roll over, try to get up, etc with the ball still in your possession, yes it is traveling. I am sure King Rollo will correct any details I may have wrong on my explanation
EDIT- What is frustrating is the number of officials (again- lower level, I sure hope no NCAA officials are this bad) as well as coaches, who do not know this rule or understand what I believe is quite simple to understand.
