The point in question is not the number of steps. In fact there is not really any number of steps allowed. The thing to watch is the pivot foot. You can lift it but before replacing it on the floor you must pass or shoot. If you dribble after lifting it then it is a travel. The first foot down is the pivot foot.

quote: Three steps is definitely a travel. A player called for travelling on a layup will usually complain I only took 2 steps but even this is travelling if it is 2 complete strides. Really what you are allowed is 1 and a half. These are the mechanics of a normal layup Righthand Player picks up ball when right foot strikes the ground then contacts floor with left foot and then lifts right foot and jumps and does not touch floor with right foot before shot is released. Lefthand Player picks up ball when left foot strikes ground. I see many players attempt lefthand layup using Righthand style.
