I'm surprised no one has had a similar thread as the following but, maybe, there has been and I missed it.
Also, my knowledge of the applicable rule and judgement of what is happening could be flawed.
I contend that the following traveling violation happens but is never called.
Here goes....A moving player catches the ball and legally leaves off 1 foot and simultaneously lands on 2 feet. Then he fakes shot and in beginning his drive...he picks up a foot before the ball leaves his hand to start his dribble. This is a travel when the ball leaves his hand to start his dribble.
I think this is a good shooting technique but if the rules are enforced makes a quick first step impossible. I see this movement constantly but have never seen this rule enforced. This also happens consistently on the nationally televised college games. I assume ?? that the NCAA rules are the same as the Fed.
I know 50 different refs that don't know the rule and they don't even know the situation is happening.
I don't know of any ref that was aware of this situation until I explained it to them.
I think this should be called. Am I right? Comments please.
