When does travel occur?

Well, if we ever work together let's hope this play only happens once, because it's going to be called differently depending on whose primary it is in.

While you're hoping, why not hope it never happens at all, which seems a pretty safe bet. I don't think I've ever seen it happen.

Yeah, but the jumping for a shot and dropping the ball does happen from time to time.
