In Utah both boys and girls do this. I called one or two but soon realized no one else called it and I was seen as picking on players.
If the defense is close and I hop to a new spot mere inches away then shoot I have disadvantaged myself and give the defense time to block the shot. Bunny hop hurts the player. I think it is not called because it didnt allow the offense and advantage. It is clearly a travel to have the ball, jump to a new spot and then shot. NO one calls it in this state. I was wondering the same thing and came up with the theory its really hurting the offense and gave no advantage so no one calls it.. Thanks for bring this up before I did. Now if they are inside the 3 arc and jump behind it that I will call and dont get much grief. Happy Easter everyone!

For all of you accomplished officials, I sincerely thank you for your well-considered inputs/comments on my issue. Let me first say that it was re-assuring to see other officials had observed the same issue and I will say that going forward in my officiating vocation I will aim to implement the proper "travel call" when said action occurs.
For the record, I did speak with three female basketball officials--all who do it at the NF level--and they collectively said that they wished more officials would call this a "travel" on the girls/women's side instead of "kicking the rule". They said that girls do this "gathering" action in order to gain more force on their shot (which several of you had already postulated); however, the action is nevertheless a "travel". I then asked them "why" they had never /seldom called it a travel since they were also females who could ostensibly "identify" with other females? They responded by saying something to the effect of "wishing they had the temerity to make that call" despite the cultural bias towards kicking the rule. Thanks a ton for all of you'alls comments. |

If a player catches a pass with a foot on the floor, she may jump off that foot as long as she lands on both simultaneously. If she catches the pass with both feet in the air, she may jump of the first foot that lands and then land on both simultaneously. These are the plays I'm perceiving when you talk about a little "hop" in the set up for the shot. It's perfectly legal, which provides a different explanation for why it's not being called.

I know what you r talking about. Two handed catch with two feet or toes on ground and short hop to shoot. It is travel. If it is done quick enough maybe official can consider player is not holding ball. It is travel but I avoid calling it unless you, my partner, are calling it on other end. Or, player is so slow that everybody on planet sees the travel.

Of course if they are stepping into this as they are receiving the ball, this is probably legal but based on what foot becomes the pivot. I watch how players receive passes and step into shots during warmups to help get me engaged. |

I don't think anyone really understood what you were asking. Is my description above an accurate description of the movement you are seeing?

About the only sure conclusion I can come to is they aren't called the same way. |

I think i guessed right on the move you were trying to describe but you really didn't say, (i don't think), if both feet were on the ground at time of catch or just one or none. As Adam points out that does matter. Travel rules apply when end a dribble or gain control of ball from pass. thx |
