confused by the traveling rule

[deecee]

after a jump stop you have no pivot rights -- if any foot is lifted the ball better leave the players hand before it comes back down --

but a travel from a jump stop is partially subjective as well -- as long as both feet come down close enough and not necessarily at the same time but one....two with about a fraction of a second difference and it didnt give player with an advantage i pass on it.

one thing i am working on this off season -- besides trying to coach instead of ref -- is to not call anything that doesn't effect the game and let the play take care of itself...in fact i had an argument with another dip**** adult yesterday regarding the 3 second rule -- this is one of the hardest rules/infractions to explain to people as apparently when it comes to the 3 second rule everyone was raised in a military household -- "well if he were in there for 3 seconds no matter what its a violation and you should call it" -- to which i reply "everytime you speed on the freeway you should pull over to the nearest police officer and ask him to write you a ticket".

They dont like that one but i get a kick out of it. which reminds me of another joke

-----

A police officer is waiting along a road when a kid speeds by him. The officer proceeds to pull the kid over and walks over to the kids car.

officer: Son, I've been waiting for you here all day, you just made my day.

kid: Well I got here as fast as I could.

The officer after wiping the tears of laughter out of his eyes let the kid off with a warning.
