One last time for clarity's sake
Hope this clarifies--
A1 (male or female player--though the "action" is most egregious when done by female shooters): 1. A1 catches ball from a pass---both feet are on the court when ball is initially caught. No dribble is done. 2. A1 then hops on both feet (moving them forward from "point A" to "point A + 1)"----this is the small 'hop' I referred to initially. No dribble is done. 3. A1 then lands on both feet @ point A+1--after the small hop, then bends knees and winds up elbows in preparation for release of shot (though the feetwork is what I'm focusing on here, OK). No dribble is done. 4. A1 then jumps and releases the ball for a try (jump-shot). hop = physically and momentarily leaves the floor for those few milliseconds--no toes touching at all. I have observed that this action is always called a "travel" in boys/men---yet very very seldom called a "travel" in girls games. This was the key issue I requested help for. Is this a bona fide travel or no? |

Don't be so clear, Rich!

Ah Sweet Mystery Of Life (Jeanette MacDonald And Nelson Eddy) ...
With high school girls, I am more likely to see this in warmups, but it doesn't seem to carry over into the actual game, even when I'm looking for it. Very odd. Very perplexing.

@BDR: we dissect and critique all manner of violations, interpretational gray-areas, and asundry on here... what do you expect from officiating "geeks" like us... ?
How's your off-season reffing going? I pray that your men's wreck leagues reffing is going OK. Last edited by Kansas Ref; Wed Apr 06, 2016 at 09:37am. |

I've seen this happen hundreds of times over the years ....its is liken to a "crow hop" that baseball outfielders use to create more momentum for a long throw after a catch or they field a batted ball hit to them
I've also seen it used by basketball player to start a dribble move after a catch ...this I always call traveling However.... As for shooting ...... My mind's eye catches the movement but I rarely call it anymore (I will if they don't go thru with the shot --- and I'm not describing a jump stop but a catch and a movement-- while holding the ball after a catch...) But I've not observed a gender difference |

Don't make this harder than it needs to be. Concentrate on the pivot and that will tell you if its a travel or not. Just like any other travel situation, you need to know whatth pivot foot is. If it is lifted and returned while in control of the ball, it's a travel. More times than not in the situation you are describing, the hop and the catch is one motion and the pivot isn't touching the floor when the catch/gather is made which makes it a legal move. That's all there is to it. Make that determination and move on to more important stuff.
When I was at Verne Harris camp years ago, this play was discussed. Verne's answer was he'd rather miss a travel call than call a good move a travel. If this is so prevalent in your area, what are the top officials calling. If it's prevalent, I'd say it's probably not a travel. Don't try to be the only Sherriff in town to male this call unless you are content with the games you are working.

His further clarification after my questions tells me his previous references to the jump stop rule, while utterly and totally wrong, were simply irrelevant to what he was seeing.

Interesting comment from the camp you went to though--in terms of the clinician telling you'all to pass on a travel; reminds me of how at times some refs call "travel" on a simple 'euro-step' layup move. Not sure of how you are conjecturing on whether or not this call is made will impact my varsity schedule tho? Last edited by Kansas Ref; Fri Apr 08, 2016 at 05:21pm. |
