Play #1 - A1 is holding the ball. Her left foot is her pivot foot. She steps with her right foot and starts to throw a pass. However, a defender leaps in front of her at the last possible moment. She holds onto the ball put lifts her pivot foot. Is this traveling? Why or why not?
-------------------------------------------------------
No, it would only be traveling if s/he replaced her left (pivot) foot to the floor.
-------------------------------------------------------
Play #2 - A2 passes the ball to A1. A1 is holding the ball and being guarded by B1. A1 tosses the ball over B1's head and takes off around B1. After the ball hits the floor, A1 grabs it, takes one step, and shoots the ball for a lay-up. Is this traveling? Why or why not?
--------------------------------------------------------
No, s/he didn't take more than 2 steps.
--------------------------------------------------------
Play #3 - A1 is dribbling on a fast break. He passes the ball ahead to A2, who is flying down the court. He muffs the catch, bobbles the ball but succeeds in securing control before it strikes the floor. A2 took four steps after he initially touched the ball, before securing it. Is this traveling? Why or why not?
--------------------------------------------------------
Yes, s/he did not dribble, and took more steps then the legal amount.
--------------------------------------------------------
Play #4 - A1 is in position for a rebound. He taps the rebound into the air to prevent a defender from gaining possession. He taps the ball into the air 4 times and takes 5 steps while trying to keep the ball away from the opponent. Is this traveling? Why or why not?
--------------------------------------------------------
No, s/he does not legally have possesion.
--------------------------------------------------------
Play #5 - A1 dives for a loose ball on the floor. She gains control of the ball but continues to slide before coming to a stop and requesting a timeout. Is this traveling? Why or why not?
--------------------------------------------------------
Yes, s/he has possesion of the ball, is moving, and not dribbling.
--------------------------------------------------------
Play #6 - A1 falls to the floor and is lying on her back when she recovers a loose ball. She sits up and passes the ball to A2. Is this traveling? Why or why not?
--------------------------------------------------------
That's not enough information. I don't know if the pivot foot moved or not. Undetermined.
--------------------------------------------------------
Play #7 - A1 is out of bounds for a spot throw-in. After the ball is placed at her disposal. She runs the baseline. Is this traveling? Why or why not?
--------------------------------------------------------
No, but I do believe it would be a throw-in violation.
--------------------------------------------------------
Play #8 - A1 attempts a try after ending the dribble. The try does not touch the backboard, the rim or any other player. A1 runs and is able to catch the ball before it strikes the floor. Is this traveling? Why or why not?
--------------------------------------------------------
No, between the time s/he made a try and caught the ball, s/he didn't have position.
--------------------------------------------------------
Play #9 - Dribbler A1 catches the ball with the right foot touching the floor and then jumps off that foot and alights on both feet simultaneously with one foot in advance of the other. Is this traveling? Why or why not?
--------------------------------------------------------
No, I believe s/he are alowed two-three steps not dribbling.
--------------------------------------------------------
Play #10 - Airborne A1 and A2 jointly grab the rebound and each alights simultaneously on both feet. A1 and A2 each move one foot in attempting to wrestle the ball from each other before realizing they are teammates. A1 lets go and A2 dribbles away. Is this traveling? Why or why not?
--------------------------------------------------------
Yes, whenever two teammates are wrestling for the ball, it is a travel.
I appreciate you taking the time to write out these plays for me. BTW, I'm not really going to say where I live in NC, just the state.
Thanks,
Matt
