Travel or not

[cmhjordan23]

Once a player has established a pivot foot, I understand that player may lift the pivot on a pass or shot. Obiviously if that pivot foot returns to the floor it is a travel. My question does the same hold if one drags their pivot foot on a pass or is that automatically a travel?

Yeah, pivot cannot move an inch. Travel everytime!

Rough game I had a few weeks ago, the floor was so slick, I even slid almost everytime I came to a fast stop. So it was rough, got people yelling travel travel, hell EVERY play could have been a travel on that court. We just called the ones that looked like murder.

It can move an inch or a yard. It just can't retouch the floor when it moves. So a classic "drag" is definitely a travel. But if the player picks up the pivot foot but doesn't return it to the floor before passing or shooting, that is legal.

You're conflating two distinct provisions of the rule: one about lifting the foot, and the other about moving it while it's still in contact with the floor (dragging it).

How is he conflating two rules which he stated were different?

Extra points to mbyron for using "conflating" in a sentence - and using it properly!
