Snaqs, I understand your point. From the outset, I agreed that the move, on the video, that I was addressing, is rarely called a travel, in real time. And, in fact, in slow motion, it's not clear-cut to be a travel. It's the only move on the video that is even near to something that I might think the officials in the games that this talented youngster is playing, may be called a travel. Every other move in the video, the true jump-stops, the jump-stops to the rear, the pivots, are not even suspect.
I just spent two hours going over some of the videos on the net that are presented as training aids for basketball moves. It's amazing how many guys have put stuff on the net, made up their own names for moves, and parts of moves, and at times don't even describe their video presentations congruously with the actions shown.
