I'm not Padgett, but I know the answer: when and because it failed to meet the definition of traveling.

Next question?

For the record, the rules language re: traveling hasn't changed in the last fifty years either.

Two situations:
1) if a player catches the ball with both feet off the floor while moving or dribbling and he then lands on one foot, he can legally jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both feet.
2) If a player catches the ball with one foot on the floor while moving or dribbling, he can legally jump off that foot and land on both feet simultaneously.
In both situations, the player can't legally pivot using either foot after landing.

Of course, if Rich is referring to the NBA, I can't help him. I don't have a clue what comprises traveling in that league. Or what comprises a foul. Or what comprises palming. Etc., etc.

Yeah, just watching Lebron yesterday and he traveled at least five times and it was just ignored.

Tell the kids don't watch ...

Don't apologize. It takes all kinds. And there are too few of your kind.

Does anyone? I've counted three, for, and even FIVE steps, with no whistle.
