traveling

Me too, Chuck. This is exactly the answer that I was looking for. As to the original post, I was not referring to low level, "They can't help it!" calls, but more the high school star trying to duplicate the move he saw on tv call. As for the 2 steps on a shot thing, I have said before that under a microscope I think probably well over half of all layups could be called a travel, but if you have doubt, you have to let it go. (if it mighta been a travel, it ain't a travel) BUT, when a player slows the whole thing down and is obviously standing flat footed and then takes his "only two more steps" my whistle goes off by itself. ALSO, when a player is shooting a layup but incorporates a 360 degree turn into it, I don't recall seeing that done legally in high school very often. "I know Penny Hardaway does it, but you ain't him."

Thanks guys, I feel better now.
