I distinctly remember reading in some official basketball rules (forget which) about 3 years ago about a "2-and-a-half" beat for layups...but can't find it anywhere anymore. Either everybody has redacted this term from their rules or else there is something very wrong with space-time in the Universe (I will NOT accept that it was just my imagination).
In any case, the 2-and-a-half-beat rythm is redundant with the rules for traveling as they are currently widely written. All a 2-and-a-half beat really means is you can pick up your pivot as long as you shoot/pass before your pivot hits the floor again, which is what current rules allow.
But can anybody please confirm that there used to be such a term?

I believe the 2 1/2 step thing is related to the pro rules.
Not to be found in ncaa or fed rules.
