A better way to describe travel/no-travel questions is with regard to the pivot foot. The whole question is laid out in relation to when the pivot foot is established, and which foot is the pivot. When you know which foot is the pivot, and when everything else happened in relation to that, you've got it made!
Juulie Downs: Well put. This should be printed, enlarged, and posted in every sports bar for the next two weeks.
