Spin move or travel?

[BktBallRef]

Could some of you college guys tell me why this isn't a travel?

A1 drives into the lane. He pulls up with his back to the basket, ends the dribble, steps with his left foot toward the basket, making the right foot the pivot. He then does a pivot spin on the left foot, steps with his right foot toward the basket, and shoots.

Big men also use this move in the low post block. Both feet are on the floor with their back to the basket. They step with the foot that's away from the basket, into the lane. That makes the other foot the pivot. Then they use the first foot as a pivot to spin on, and step with the legal pivot foot and complte the move with a jump shot or hook. Same play, just a little different beginning.

Are you guys told not to call this? I normally see it 3 to 5 times a game.

ISU and Mizzou are in their 4TH OT! Unbelievable!
