I've seen it - but never seen it called

[Refsmitty]

Shooter gets a pass in the corner for a 3 point try. He takes a quick baby hop before jumping into his shot - I think that is a travel by rule - do you call that?

[Welpe]

I've called it a few times.

[OKREF]

I've called it, several times. It does get missed a lot though. The times I've called it, a defensive player was running at the shooter, and the shooter does it do avoid the defensive player to get a clean look.

[JRutledge]

I have also called is several times if it is obvious. I try not to nitpick this, but often it is very obvious and I even called in Saturday in my game. Again much of this is judgment.

Like Rut, I call it when it's obvious and leave it alone when it's not. Sometimes it's quite obviously a legal jump stop, so you can't call it even if you just called it on the other team who did it wrong.

Coaches here takes notice of it and complain when it is not called, especially when used to create space from the defender.

Not always a travel if not done correctly. Lower level games is nearly always a travel.

If it creates an advantage hoping away from the defense its a travel?

If they hop giving the defense more time to defend it then its not a travel?

And its the same hop. No dribble picking up the pivot and putting it down.

Who said this?

Since when does advantage/disadvantage matter on violations?

Ten second free throw count?

Three second violations certainly are, especially by officials I want to work with.

You're right. That was not a completely accurate statement on my part.

[Nevadaref]

I believe that this is a point of emphasis for NCAAM this season.

That could just as easily be categorized under intent and purpose of the rule without directly considering advantage/disadvantage in the traditional sense even though the rule really is addressing a specific advantage (tall players camping at the basket).
