One if the left foot remained the piviot foot in this move this would be a blatant travel since that step through with the left foot would be replacing the pivot foot on the floor. Second are you sure that the right foot isn't sliding while the player pivots 180 degrees because that would be a travel.

Traveling is across the board the most inconsistant call officials make in my opinion.
however if we called every travel games could run in the three hour range. just for fin some night while watching an NCAA game on TV tick off the number of times a player lifts the pivot foot before begining a dribble that are not called - or slides the pivot foot, or switches pivot feet quickly before taking off on a drive or shooting. I think on the whole we are better at it but it still will take a lot more effort on everyone's including my part

I am not trying to say that my players never make a mistake - obviously we all do - but when you ask the ref after he/she has called it a travel a time or two, "Why is it a travel?" and the response is "because they picked up their pivot foot before they shot the ball" then you pretty much know all you need to know about that particular ref. |

there is a whole lot going on there and a lot of area for a travle to occur, but given the explaination you were given - you might as well get your T now and sit down and watch the festivities, because it is going to be a long afternoon! Sorry coach

I simply played each clip at regular speed and asked if the play was a travel. Many of them were simple for 95+% of the officials. But, many of them required me to replay in either slow motion or frame-by-frame. In several of the cases, no more than 80 - 85% of the officials agreed one way or the other (one of them was the dreaded "bunny hop" into the shot with BOTH FEET CLEARLY ON THE FLOOR WHEN THE BALL WAS RECEIVED, followed with a small, BUT CLEAR, hop off both feet onto two feet followed by a shot OR a jab step and drive). As an association, we have decided to expand that tape to include many more situations for our entry training classes for the 2009-10 season. I think that MOST new officials THINK that they (along with almost ALL coaches and spectators) know EXACTLY what a travel is or is not. The reality is, the call is very challenging. By grouping the video clips into a specific areas, we are hoping that we will be able to SHOW the travel calls/non-travel calls multiple times -- and test them during the class multiple times -- to make sure that we are communicating consistent messages to our newest officials. |

While is words may have not been precise, he correctly ruled on every one of the examples present. This is an example of a non-official that really understood what is and is not traveling but didn't have the "official" language.

What about the quote ""if he lifts that pivot foot at any time it's considered a travel"? He also said "remember, you've got 2 steps, if you take more than that it's called a travel." This guy doesn't understand what traveling is. I could have explained everything he said in 10 seconds but it took him 2 minutes because he doesn't understand that lifting the pivot foot and returning it to the floor is traveling. That is all he had to say.
