The infamous knee on the floor traveling rule is one of the most misunderstood rules in basketball. To start a dribble, the ball must be released before the pivot knee is lifted. On a pass or a shot, the pivot knee may be lifted, but may not return to the floor before the ball is released. A player in this situation may also pass, shoot, or request a timeout.
