Traveling?
Two players from the same team simultaneously are holding the ball. While both are in possession one of the players takes a step. Is that an automatic travel or is it considered the pivot foot for both of them?

There's no travel unless one of them actually travels (lifts the pivot foot and then returns it to the floor; or drags the pivot foot).

So it is legal for one of the two players to use a pivot foot correct?

Quote:
There is no special rule that prevents *either* from legal foot movement. |
Each player may use his pivot foot. The traveling rule applies to any player with the ball, no changes are made if a second player has the ball also. Each player may move as if he is the only one holding the ball.

Perfect... Thank you all.

Here is the NFHS case book play on this.
4.44.2 SITUATION B: Airborne A1 and A2 jointly grab the rebound and each alights simultaneously on both feet. A1 and A2 each move one foot in attempting to wrestle the ball from each other before realizing they are teammates. A1 lets go and A2 dribbles away. RULING: Legal. There has been no violation as neither A1 or A2 moved their pivot foot while they were in joint control. |

If simultaneous possession meant that travelling could't be called, teams would have two players hold onto the ball as they ran down that floor, wouldn't they? |
