Galloping???

Speaking of the two step rule...There seems to be a two "gallop" rule as well. I consider a gallop as two steps, one right after the other. Yet many officials, NBA, NCAA, and even rec, no call those two gallop moves, or the gallop followed by a jump. This seems to occur more and more often. How do you guys feel about these moves and are you calling them travels?

eguasch,
The players are in such continuous motion at those higher levels when a "dime" is being dropped; we, with our experience, knowledge and judgement, have to determine:

when the player actually has the ball in possession;

which foot is, or is not, on the floor at time of actual possession.

If I am not sure of the possession, then I am not going to guess traveling.
