just one thought ... with all the questions, you might find it useful to buy a rules book. I played basketball through HS, but you think of traveling differently.
When I took my officials class, being able to read through the section (4-44) in the rules book which explains exactly how the pivot foot is established was very helpful and it gives you a different perspective on traveling.
If you understand how the pivot foot is established, and learn to identify the pivot foot on a given play, then traveling is quite easy to understand.
1) you identify the pivot foot.
2) is the player dribbling or passing/shooting.
If the player dribbles, the ball must be released before the pivot foot is lifted.
If the player is passing or shooting, the pivot foot may be lifted but the ball must be released before the pivot foot is returned to the floor.
That covers probably 99% of all traveling calls.
