What's on the belt?

I agree, which is why I added the "asterick" to my post. But this isn't as big a conspiracy as one might think. Nowadays in college, they also use the "two-count" a LOT when they shouldn't. (By "they", I mean D1 guys on TV.)

If A1 catches the ball in the air and then lands on his left foot followed quickly by his right foot, almost NOBODY calls a travel when A1 pivots on his right foot. Even tho, by NCAA (and Fed) rules, the left foot is the pivot foot in that situation.

So yes, NBA officials may allow a player to pivot off either foot when they really shouldn't; but that happens at every level.
