Good pickup. Thanks.
I meant the player was called for traveling when she started her dribble, finished her dribble, or was pivoting. If she were out on the perimeter, she was more than likely to be called for traveling, even on a close play. If she were driving to the basket, starting her drive with a dribble, or finishing her drive by picking up the ball to shoot, she often wasn't called for a travel, like she was allowed a little extra. I even asked my daughter's' coach if he was aware of a rule difference in traveling from NFHS to FIBA. Like most coaches, he didn't even have a clue about written rules.
Even though I was there as a team supporter, I don't believe that I was biased, because I noticed it when either my daughter's team was on offense, or one of the other teams was on offense.
I know that I sound like a fanboy here, but please believe me. The European view of the travel rule appeared to be very different from my NFHS view of the travel rule.
