Lifting the pivot is a good thing to watch but I beleive you CAN NOT lift the pivot foot BEFORE starting your dibble! You can lift it to shoot or pass, but not dribble. The jump or hop steps are hard to follow for me at times with the faster players. I agree that the travel can be a difficult thing to call at times. Some plays just look awkward but might not be a travel. SITUATION: a youth league coach was calling for a travel on a girl who was "taking a step" forward before launching her three pointers. I know it is hard to describe, but can anyone shed any light on this?
Art,
Maybe these scenarios:
1.>A1 receives a pass with both feet planted and established a pivot foot (ie. she moves ONE FOOT) then she hops and lands on both feet and shoots a three. In this case she raised and put her pivot foot back on the floor BEFORE RELEASING THE BALL and it IS a travel.
2.>A1 receives a pass with both feet planted,
and without moving either foot, she then hops on both feet and shoots a three. In this case, she did not establish her pivot foot until she landed back on the floor after her hop, and it IS NOT a travel.
