To be clear on the violation that I see most frequently, it is a player who is cutting out from the paint area to the wing, does a 1-2 stop, with (for example) right foot touching inside the line first, left outside the line second, then using left as as pivot to drop step the right foot outside the line and square up for the three pointer. It is a bang-bang play, and seems to be a set motion that players have developed for popping out for a three. It is blatantly illegal but happens all the time in NCAA. I coach my players on maintaining the proper pivot foot after a 1-2 stop, but this bad example is out there on a daily basis during the college hoops season.
