Drop Step Traveling Call

[ATXCoach]

Blind Zebra, please clarify for me so that I may teach it correctly.

****

You stated : If one foot is on the floor it becomes the pivot foot when the other comes down.

So for this to be legal that drop step needs to occur during the catch, thus making it the pivot foot.

****

Are you saying that if the player catches the ball with the baseline foot off the ground (i.e. stepping to the basket), that foot (the dropping/baseline foot) is the pivot foot when it is placed on the ground and thus the other foot is able to move freely?

This seems to contradict Rule 44.2.b.1 where I read that the foot on the ground at the time of the cath is the pivot foot.

I am sure I am misunderstanding you, but your clarification is greatly apreciated
