travel or not?

teammates A1 & A2 secure the rebound at the same time.for approximately 1 second the both have possession. clearly none of the 4 feet move. A1 finally assumes sole pssesssion and starts a dribble. Should there have been a travel call?

That's not JR's opinion. That's the RULE!

Why would this be a travel?

Yeah, I guess I am with snakeeyes on this. You clearly gave this some thought. What was the thought process that led you to even consider this as a travel? I'm not being critical. I want to know what led you to the travel for sake of discussion.

i knew it wasn't travel. i just wanted this forum to confirm it because the coach was questioning me so much about it. lighten up.

It's a relatively common myth. It's even worse when one (or both) of the players pivots.

Don't get defensive, we're just curious why you would think its a travel.

If I made a thread about every time a coach questioned my call the front page would be full of my threads.

My partner called this a travel in our game last night. I think I was the only person in the gym who knew it wasn't a travel. Sometimes knowing the rules can be frustrating!

foxey, no problem.

i wasnt getting on you. i've seen other posts by you and they are informative. and this non-travel seemed so clear i really wanted to know what you were thinking. maybe it was some aspect of the issue i hadnt considered. that is why i asked

LOLOLOL, you would think one of them would keep a pivot foot down.
