He made a blanket statement -- if you know the pivot moved, call the violation -- that is simply not true. Those of us with experience (including btaylor) know when you can and can't move your pivot foot, but there might be new officials reading that who don't know.

I was simply trying to make the point that a player can move the pivot foot in lots of legal ways. I guess I could've made it in a better manner.
How about this (I know everyone will get a kick out of this), I ref pro ball I don't know what a travel is!
