The crow hop is a very good offensive move. It requires strength, athleticism, floor sense and awareness. I have seen this move at the H.S. boys level (not at the H.S. girls level). If the player has enough space to make the crow hop, it's a great move because it's difficult to defend. By rule, the player with the ball must have one foot on the playing court then jump off that same foot. landing anywhere on the court, landing both feet together simultaneously - this way neither foot is considered a pivot foot. The problem in my area seems to be with the the word simultaneous. Close enough isn't what the rule says ... If the player doesn't land with both feet together simultaneously, then it's a clear travel. So, I'm wondering, in your H.S. ball experience, is this called by the book? No splitting hairs - it's the rule!
Thanks!
