Traveling Question

[zm1283]

What about this one: Player is dribbling down the court, he picks up his dribble as he's jumping off of his right foot. He jump stops and both feet land at the same time. Can he pivot or not?

Did he pick up the dribble before or after he jumped off his right foot?

No, he cannot pivot. He can lift one or both feet (another jump) off the floor, but nothing can return to the floor before he shoots, passes, or requests a timeout.

I was just coming on here to post a similar question. Had this happen to me. Guy couldn't stop his momentum and took one step with his left foot. I didn't call traveling because I wasn't 100% sure...only 95%
