End of the game situation. Team A inbounds and passes the ball up towards the division line where defensive pressure causes the ball to be rolling on the floor. Player A1 almost loses ball out-of-bounds, but brings it back under control inbounds. (this is where that player becomes visible on the video)
Player A1 is on his knees with control of the basketball. He shifts his weight onto his right knee to pass to a teammate. In doing so, his left knee lifts off of the floor. I thought that in order for there to be a travel, A1 would need to be 'attempting to get up' which I did not feel that he was doing.
Let me know your thoughts....

I guess that the follow up would be could that same player have a 'pivot knee'? ... lifting a knee so that his foot could then propel them around in a circle?
ps. Nice finish by Team A player just prior to buzzer! |
So was the basket good at the buzzer? Never saw a signal one way or the other.
By the way, I commend you for putting yourself through this scrutiny by everyone here and all the comments are, I'm sure, meant in a positive vein.
