A shooter that hops

in your thread you made a very accurate description of what may be one of the most difficult calls (traveling)for a young official to master. to me it was a matter of recognizing when there is a pivot foot established. i have worked with official(s) that have given explainations to a travel call as "you can not pivot out of a jump stop" I 100% disagree. i have been taught, and coached, the old 1: JUMP STOP, 2: PIVOT, 3: PASS. When taught correctly this certainly is a legal move. I really believe our game suffers from the lack of uniform knowledge of the rule. Thank you for this wonderful thread. You sound like a very knowlegable official. Does this kind of understanding ever seem to get you in "hot water" with coaches?
