Travel?
 

Guys and Gals,

I don't have my rule book, but I have my case book with me and I can't seem to find the play. If an offensive player has the ball and dribbles between a double team (2 defenders less that 3 feet apart), is that a travel? Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks...

Rule 10-6-7 says something to the effect that "a dribbler shall not dribble between two opponents or between an opponent and the sidline unless there's sufficient space."

I interpret that as "unless the defense does something else, it's not a foul on the defense if contact puts the dribbler at a disadvantage."

In any event, it's not a travel.

If the player is dribbling, he can't travel. Not possible.

Actually there is no violation. It merely says that if there is less than three feet and there is contact, the offensive player has greater responsibility

4-7-2c

There must be reasonable space between two defensive players or a
defensive player and a boundary line to allow the dribbler to continue in
his/her path. If there is less than 3 feet of space, the dribbler has the greater
responsibility for the contact.

woo-hoo- post #100!

Post Ho. ;)
