Camron, I see exactly what you're explaining in the rule book. I never thought about it this closely, tho. It seems to me, if we interpret it the way you've explained it, then 99% of the layups I see are travels. Kid catches the ball in the air, lands on the right foot, jumps off that foot, lands on the other foot, then jumps to shoot the layup. That motion is not what I would call a "step". He's got both feet off the ground during that "step". That seems to me to be more of a jump. That's why I said it was a fine hair to split. A step seems to me to be what you do when you're holding the ball and pivoting.

Chuck
