No Pivot?

Has anyone ever even seen a play like this? Rarely happens ...

Actually quite often. Happens in many (if not most) of my games. Just have to be aware of it...many officials will call it a travel because it can, at times, "look funny."

Especially when it happens around the three point line.

This where we need video!

Can anyone give me an example?

Think of your jump shooter catching a pass about 15 feet away from the basket, catches it on the move on one foot, and jumps off the foot landing on two feet before going back up for a jump shot.

It's really cool when a kid does it wrong on one end, you call the travel, and his opponent does it perfectly for a three point shot on the other end. Coaches love that.

OK ... not seeing that or it happening very often.

What about the dribbler ending his/her dribbleafter leaping into the air and junp stopping. They can pivot from there, or not?

Depends.

Jump, catch, land on one foot, jump, land on two feet: no pivot allowed.

Jump, catch, land on two feet. pivot allowed.

I've seen it multiple times in a single game. I had the situation I mentioned, too; home coach hated that.
