Fun With A Drive To The Hoop ...

But he actually travels before he drives after the pump fake. He moves both feet before he starts his dribble. This is the bigger concern in this play than the jump stop IMO.

And this looks like a college game.

Peace

He slides his left foot on the pump fake (I have it as pivot and a travel), then picks it up before dribble and another travel, then when he tries to pivot after the jump stop -- gathers with right foot on floor jumps to land on both (legal), then tries to pivot = travel...... 3 travels and they come out with a foul?

Agree, but it was very difficult to see on the video, which is why I passed.

If his right foot was on the floor when he caught the ball, that would be his pivot foot, and it was lifted, and returned to the floor, before the ball was released on a pass, or try for goal, thus illegal, and a travel violation. If you’re not sure, don’t call it.

If one ignores everything that came before that (which we can't), the last pivot would have been legal.

Assume legal start of dribble drive (I've got a travel). Assume legal jump into jump stop (I'm not sure, but won't argue against it being illegal):

Nice observation. Took me several replays to see it. Two travels before the ball leaves his hands for the dribble drive.
