Travelling/Hop-Step

[Arcanon10]

Hey all,


Two questions that really need clarification.

1.) Can a player, after taking two steps towards the basket (supposedly to take a shot), stop and begin to pivot? Basicaly, can the player, after initiating the two-step count, stop and reastablish their pivot?
(I think I see Shaq do this all the time.)


2.) If a player does a "hop-step" and jumps into the air, must they land with two feet and go back up or can they land with one foot (then the other) and go back up? Basicaly, does a "hop-step" require both feet to simultaneously hit the ground?

Thanks for the help.
