Just for information only.
I checked some websites that teach kids to play basketball. in the lay-up sections, some of them make it clear that the first stride is a "step", not a "jump", even though they do not emphasize the point that it has to be a step.
Of course, I have only sampled very limited number of websites, and all I have sampled are only for kids.
I am wondering if any coaches here want to provide some helpful insights? (so I can understand the rule backwards: based on how basketball is usually played to decide what the rules are supposed to be. Very unique, isn't it.
)
Thanks.
