3. He now does a reverse pivot with his back to the basket by stepping with his left foot. He finishes the move by lifting his right foot, spinning towards the end line on his left foot, and without ever touching his right foot to the floor jumping off his left foot into the air and making a one-handed shot.
Since the pivot foot was lifted, but not returned to the floor before the ball was released on a try, there was no traveling violation. Good basket, the announcers know nothing, and Georgetown wins!

So by they way you said no Travel. Thanks for clearing that up. I remember him losing control. Then I played it back in my head that the move he did, never allowed him to split the two guys around him. So I was like ok if he switched pivots we would have seen him split the two guys etc...
