			Around here the travel rule is being rewritten on the court every night.  I agree with cford that a lot of "ordinary" lay-ups are travels, even though many of these are smooth enough and close enough to legal that it would take slow motion to be sure. "If it mighta been a travel it ain't a travel." I let these go. BUT, players watch too much NBA and other stuff on tv and either hesitate on the first foot or incorporate a ball fake or whatever to the point that the whole process simply takes too long. Also, and maybe even worse, is individual players moves which involve a 360 spin, a drop step, or some imaginary version of the jump stop which often means a long pause on one foot followed by the player taking a broad jump forward, landing with a 1-2 count, and then extending forward from there for the shot. (did y'all follow all that?) I find when a player makes a move like this, when the whistle blows the offending player has a look of disbelief, and at least one player on the other team is making the travel signal before I am.
