A shooter catches a pass and takes two steps while stepping up to the 3 point line. A player changes his pivot while holding the ball. A Big with his back to the basket steps with his right foot and then with his left foot on his roll to the basket. I see these calls ignored in every game I watch. They're easy calls but they aren't being made. If it wasn't a problem, it wouldn't be a POE. You can deny it all you want but I've got the proof on DVR.

Pistol, The travel rule in FIBA was the same in 2000 as it is now. I have the 2000 FIBA rule book to prove it. It may have been different prior to 2000 as that was my first year officiating. I doubt that it was EVER legal to jump off two feet and land on two feet. FIBA officials, correct me if I'm wrong. Here is the 2000 FIBA rule: Art. 35 Travelling 35.1 Definition 35.1.1 Travelling is the illegal movement of one or both feet beyond the limits outlined in this article in any direction whilst holding a live ball on the court. 35.1.2 A pivot is when a player who is holding a live ball on the court steps once or more than once in any direction with the same foot, whilst the other foot, called the pivot foot, is kept at its point of contact with the floor. OFFICIAL BASKETBALL RULES 2000 RULE SIX - VIOLATIONS May 2000 Page 43 of 92 3a-00e 35.2 Rule 35.2.1 Establishing a pivot foot • A player who catches the ball with both feet on the floor may use either foot as the pivot foot. The moment one foot is lifted, the other becomes the pivot foot. • A player who catches the ball whilst moving or dribbling may stop as follows: − If one foot is touching the floor: ▫ That foot becomes the pivot foot as soon as the other foot touches the floor. ▫ The player may jump off that foot and land on both feet simultaneously, then neither foot can be the pivot foot. − If both feet are off the floor and the player: ▫ Lands on both feet simultaneously, then either foot may be the pivot foot. The moment one foot is lifted, the other becomes the pivot foot. ▫ Lands on one foot followed by the other foot, then the first foot to touch the floor is the pivot foot. ▫ Lands on one foot, the player may jump off that foot and land on both feet simultaneously, then neither foot can be the pivot foot. 35.2.2 Progressing with the ball • After having established a pivot foot whilst having control of a live ball on the court: − On a pass or a shot for a field goal, the pivot foot may be lifted but may not be returned to the floor before the ball is released from the hand(s), − To start a dribble, the pivot foot may not be lifted before the ball is released from the hand(s). • After coming to a stop when neither foot is the pivot foot: − On a pass or a shot for a field goal, one or both feet may be lifted but may not be returned to the floor before the ball is released from the hand(s). − To start a dribble, neither foot may be lifted before the ball is released from the hand(s). 35.2.3 Player falling, lying or sitting on the floor It is legal when a player, whilst holding the ball, falls on the floor or, whilst lying or sitting on the floor, gains control of the ball. It is a violation if the player then slides, rolls, or attempts to stand up whilst holding the ball. |

Ok Guys I'm going to resolve this once and for all. I officiated FIBA basketball since 1972 and for 10 years before that NCAA rules.
The following is taken from the 1986 OfficialFIBA Rule book describing progressing with the ball as FIBA called it. I retired from officiating after 43 years following the 2005 season so I can't really recall when FIBA actually went to NCAA travelling rules.If someone wants I can go through all the rules changes and tell you but who really cares??? Anyway here is the way it was until they changed: Article 54 Progressing with the ball: A player may progress with the ball in any direction within the following limits: Item1-A player who receives the ball while standing still may pivot , using either foot as the pivot foot. Item2 - A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble may use a two-count rhythm in coming to a stop or in getting rid of the ball. The first count occurs: (a) as he receives the ball if either foot is touching the floor at the time he receives it,or (b) as either foot touches the floor or as both feet touch the floor simultaneously after he receives the ball if both feet are off the floor when he receives it. The second count occurs when, after the count of one, either foot touches the floor or both feet touch the floor simultaneously. A player has come to a STOP at the first count of the two count rhythm, is not entitled to a new movement within the second count. When a player comes to a legal stop, if one foot is in advance of the other he may pivot but the rear foot only may be used as the pivot foot. However, if neither foot is in advance of the other, he may use either foot as the pivot foot. ITEM3 - A player who receives the ball while standing still or who comes to a legal stop while holding the ball, (a) may lift the pivot foot or jump when he shoots for goal or passes, but the ball must leave his hands before one or both feet again touch the floor. (b) may not lift the pivot foot, in starting a dribble, before the ball leaves his hands. To progress with the ball in excess of these limits is a violation. Since my scanner is broken I typed this verbatim from the 1986 FIBA rulebook Sanctioned by the president , Central Board , FIBA Mr Robert Busnel France The following case situations were taken from the 1986-1990 official case book: (Note the rules changed every 4 years with the Olympics) - Case 299 P39 PLAY- A1 receives the ball in the air, lands with both feet touching the floor simultaneously, jumps into the air and again lands with both feet touching the floor simultaneously. A-1 then pivots. RULING - Legal movement, provided A-1 does not come to a stop and the end of the first count of the two count rhythm ( ART 54) Note : That covers the catching with 2 feet jumping to 2 feet then pivoting argument. Every FIBA trained player in Low post did this on offensive rebounding situations. Did this ever piss off the Americans when it was allowed! And it was allowed because it was legal!!!Here is another version: Case 300 P40 Play- After A-1 Has received the ball while in the air, both feet touch the floor simultaneously. He then springs into the air, landing (a) with neither foot in advance of the other: or (b) with one foot in advance of the other. A-1 then pivots, takes a step toward the basket with his non pivot foot, lifts his pivot foot and shoots for goal before the pivot foot returns to the floor. RULING - Legal. A-1 has used a two -count rhythm in coming to a legal stop in both (a) and(b). In (a) either foot may be the pivot foot; in (b) only the rear foot may be used as the pivot foot. (Art 54) Nice move eh!! ( That's Canadian eh!!) Case 301 PLAY - A-1 receives the ball while his left foot is touching the floor. He stops then springs into the air and lands with both feet touching the floor simultaneously. RULING - Violation. A player who has come to a stop at the first count of the two count rhythm is not entitled to a new movement within the second count (Art54) Beginning to understand ??? Case 302. Play - A-1, while in the air, gains possession of the ball on a rebound and lands on(a) one foot or (b) on two feet simultaneously, leaps backward and lands either on two feet simultaneously or on one foot. A-1 then pivots. RULING - Legal movement in (a) and (b) provided A-1 did not come to a stop at the end of the first count of the two-count rhythm (Art 54) There are more cases but I think you all must get the idea. This version of the traveling rule resulted in really spectacular moves by mostly European players. Had the likes of MJ or Kobe used them it would have been fun to watch. I hope this resolves this question once and for all!

Here some of my thoughts on this.
1) I firmly believe that one of the reasons that an "obvious travel" gets missed at a higher level may becaue it wasn't that obvious. If you are in a game with the big guys (NBA and D-1 type players) There may be a lot more things going on to watch than the guys feet. If you are truly refereeing the defense, the ball handler may be secondary especially in a game with screens, rolls, etc. The offenders feet are the last place I may be looking when reffing fast big guys going at each other. 2) How many travel calls are you going to call a night. If you are a purist AND and called exactly by the rules, bring your sleeping bag because you'll be there all night ( how bout a blown whistle every time down the floor) There are lots of travels we dont call each game. We miss a lot of them because it might have looked like a good basketball move, or we did call it because it was out of place and player got an advantage... 3) If you are reffing the NBA finals a Kobe's got an uncontested dunk,.... Hey all those fans did not pay to hear you blow the whistle... |
