Traveling Question
With both feet off the ground:
1.Player catches ball in the air lands on right foot, jumps off that foot lands left. No Travel, picture a layup. 2.Player catches ball in the air lands on right foot, jumps off that foot and lands on both feet – no pivot foot, this is a legal play. My question is with both feet on the ground: A player is pivoting on the right foot, jumps off that foot and lands with the left foot. Travel. A player is pivoting on the right foot, jumps off that foot and lands with both feet. Travel. Am I correct? |

I am not sure what SHORLT. means but I assume that the y is yes for a travel on B. The pivot foot returned to the ground and this is a travel no matter what you try to do with the ball, dribble, shot, pass or call time out. I believe that the travel violation is the hardest call in basketball. The rule is complex and judgement must be made in a fraction of a second. The only way that you can do this well is to practice watching game tape and in person, id the pivot foot and understand all the complexities of the rule. We did this as part of a class at a ref camp. We were 20+ rows up in stands with a D1 official for a complete game. We would watch the game and D1 official would ask on individual plays what was pivot foot, what could they do etc. This helped me immensely in calling travel. I probably watched ten plus games during that camp and continue to do that at any game I attend or watch. Women's college officials are probably the best at this. IMHO, men's officials miss 5+ travels a game. I see alot of HS officials miss travels and call non travels. We must practice to get this right. |

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%

a. The pivot foot may be lifted, but not returned to the floor, before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal. b. If the player jumps, neither foot may be returned to the floor before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal. That said, I think 3b is frequently ignored unless it's egregious. |
