Chuck, actually if we use your "non-step" interp, we have traveling. Cameron is correct. Once a player jumps, he may not return to the floor whether he lands on the pivot or the not-pivot. A player driving to the basket, stepping with his non-pivot foot is not jumping, until he jumps off the non-pivot. If this step was considered jumping, then all lay-ups would be traveling, as you stated. But the step is not the same as jumping.

Truemagic, Cameron is NOT agreeing with you. You stated "he's able to jump." That's not true. He cannot jump and return to the floor. Also, whether the dribble has been used or not has absolutely nothing to do with it.

1- A player who is holding the ball establishes his pivot foot.
2- He can step with the non-pivot foot and then lift his pivot. He must now shoot, pass, or request TO.
3- He cannot dribble and he cannot return the pivot to the floor.
