confused by the traveling rule

43-2-a2 describes a single landing...one foot followed by the other. It doesn't describe two landings: landing, jumping and landing again.

Exactly!

Thanks, rainmaker. You are absolutely right, travel rule does not apply when no dribbling is going on.

Huh?!?! The traveling rule only applies when there's no dribbling going on. It's not possible to travel when you're dribbling; so the travel rules only kick in when a player is NOT dribbling.

Got your attention again.

That is why I say "the harder I try to get myself out of a confusion, the deeper I am in it.".

Why no comments from you on my "real" misconceptions?

Thanks.

How come you can not understand no word out of my mouth?

I thought I just gave you one.

Camron is using "jump" differently than you are using it.

Camron is describing one type of jump stop -- land on one foot, jump, then land on both feet. That's described elsewhere in the rule.

You're describing a "normal" landing -- and that can be done with the first foot on the floor or with the first foot leaving the floor and then the second foot landing on the floor.

Now that a pivot foot is established, there are rules about what can happen.

I percieve the whole purpose of establishing a pivot foot is to allow a player to pivot, then what is the point to establish a pivot foot when that foot is no longer allowed to be pivoted on?

That is another reason why I feel the logic is twisted if 43-4-2-a(2) allows a "jump".

No he isn't. Ask him.

take a really long blink when you think there will be a travelling violation so you dont see it

if you dont see it you cannot call it

Hmmm.... This is just a perfect example of how one sentence can have two opposite interpretations and both of them seem perfectly correct.

But the fact is, there can only be ONE correct interpretation.

Come on, Chuck. What makes you so sure about 43-2-a(2) allows a "jump"? I want to be convinced too.

Thanks.

Imagine the following 3 scenarios:

A. A player catches a pass when he is in the air, lands on his left foot only, pauses, looks around, takes a drink, then put his right foot down.

B. A player catches a pass when he is in the air, lands on his left foot only, pauses, looks around, takes a drink, then "jumps" and lands on his right foot only.

C. A player catches a pass when he is in the air, lands on his left foot only, pauses, looks around, takes a drink, then "jumps" and lands on both feet.

Which one should I call travel?

Would you give a T for taking a drink during a live ball situation?

In option B does the player pass or shoot after that right foot comes down and the left has lifted.

The sequence after the drink is: left foot is lifted (player jumps off it), right foot down with ball still in hand. then the player waives to his mom and dad, while standing "single footed".
