I never liked this interpetation when they put this in a few years back. We are to use our good judgement and rule on tons of situations during a game but we can't seem to rule on if a player has a legitimate pivot foot on the way down or the way up. I just hate it when I have to call a violation for traveling when I see a good pivot and cannot reward good play. A rule is a rule, I guess and until we are told otherwise it is a travel. On the other hand being the hypocrit that I am, I do take the liberty of loosely interpeting the traveling rule so when kids dive for balls and slide on their bellies I call it good hustle. Most coaches love floor burns and will agree with this no call when they ask you about this interpetation even though the rule book says.....!
