Looking at the NBA video rulebook, I dont see much of a change. ..
If you look at the three step play, even in high school the first "two steps" were legal.
In NFHS unless I am way off base we allow two steps now.
Look at 4-44 ..
If both feet are off the floor and a player lands simultaneous on both feet (step one).. either foot can be a pivot and you can take a second step with non pivot... (step two)
if both feet are off the floor and one foot is followed by another first to hit is pivot (step one) and second foot hitting( is setp two)...
If catches with one foot on the floor (step one) and jump stops (step two) any steps after that is a third step.......
Although the NBA will allow two steps based on the video and interpretations I dont see how things will change much....
Bottom line we miss alot of travels because we dont know what the pivot foot is... In a fast moving game with a full run do we all know the moment the player catches the ball and then know which foot or feet are on the ground? If we dont I would not be criticizing the NBA way until we can get it right...
How many of us have a player standing on the ground, catches the ball, and player jumps to left or right, or forward and lands on both feet again and then shoots?
Travel by rule but when you call it everybody yells at you.... but it is still a travel...
