That's all that is important, and could have saved a few unnecessary posts if stated in your initial post.


You always mention that you don't work NCAA. Hopefully folks who work NCAA know the rule in regards to lifting and replacing the pivot foot (it the same as the NFHS rule). Maybe that's why folks aren't discussing this play here in the forum, because it is an obvious travel for the rule sets all the forum members work (save maybe the FIBA officials). Inquiring minds don't want to know why it's not a travel in the NBA, YOU want to know. And instead of just simply asking (or looking it up on the internet), you throw all this other stuff at us. Give folks credit in that they will ask on their own if they need/want to know something about a rule outside of their normal rule set.

I wouldn't bet my house, but I would bet a fairly large amount of money that this won't be the last Forum post that mentions NBA rules.

Well, maybe not a fairly large amount of money. I just retired from my day job as a chemist and I'm on a "fixed income" now.

I'll bet a buck.
