Phantom Travels

Travels that are called when the pivot foot did NOT move or did NOT leave the floor. Correct me if I am wrong, but the heel of the foot lifting while the toe remains in contact with the floor is NOT a travel.

Agggh! Had one of these in a game last night. L is screened off the ball-handler by the defender. Ball-handler fakes a couple of different directions. Defense screams traveling. L calls it. His pivot foot never moved.

BTW, I realize that I prolly shouldn't have been looking there. But being very inexperienced in three whistle, and with nothing of any interest going on in the T's area, I didn't know where I should be looking. Anybody care to enlighten me? The player had come out of my area on a drive to the basket, and then pulled up.
