Am I correct?
Was at the gym yesterday and I saw this girl practicing on the basketball court. She was practicing a pump fake and drive move.
She had the ball on the right wing. She pump faked and drove toward the lane, near the elbow. She came down on her right foot, and picked up her dribble. She then hopped backwards off of her right foot, and landing on the right foot. The left foot didn't touch the ground until the right foot landed. After watching it a few times, I'm pretty sure she was travelling every time. Yes or no? |
It sounds like you have a travel, but I am having a difficult time understanding how that move is even possible. Does her left foot ever touch the floor? It is difficult to imagine a player stopping on one foot and hopping backwards on the same foot. I have seen player shoot the fade off the other foot, but it doesn't seem to be what you are describing.

But we are talking a basketball move not a plymetric drill. Not saying it is impossible just not sure of the practicality

Last name: Padgett This interesting surname is a diminutive form of Page, which is of Old French origin, and an occupational name for a young servant, a personal attendant in a noble's house, from the Old French, Middle English "page", ultimately deriving from the Greek "paidion", a boy, child. Padgett itself contains the intrusive "-d-", due to dialectal influences, and the diminutive suffix "-ett"; hence, "little page". Variants of the surname in the modern idiom include Paget, Pag(g)itt and Pagett. A family called Paget, of humble origins, first became prominent when William Paget (1506 - 1563) acquired large estates from Henry V111 on the dissolution of the monasteries, and also held the title Earl of Uxbridge, from 1714. The surname Page is first recorded in 1230, when Ralph Page is mentioned in the Pipe Rolls of Devonshire, while the variant form Padgett first appears in the early 14th Century (see below). John Paget is recorded in 1359 in the Court Rolls of the Borough of Colchester. Jone Padgett was christened at St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate, London, on December 10th 1569, while Margaret Padgett married Robert Ellis in London, on September 28th 1597. The Coat of Arms most associated with the family depicts on a black shield, a silver cross engrailed, in the dexter quarter a silver escallop. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of William Paget, which was dated 1327, in the "Subsidy Rolls of Sussex", during the reign of King Edward 111, known as "The Father of the Navy", 1327 - 1377. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling. |

My "real" family heritage is Russian on both sides. Please don't insinuate I'm even partly French. ;) BTW - one of my "real" grandfathers and my great-grandmother at one time both worked for Al Capone. Not kidding. I have an "Al Capone" t-shirt that my son bought for me to commemorate this. And - I'm distantly related to Monica Lewinsky. OK - that's enough personal crap. |

It's never legal to jump from one foot onto the same foot while holding a live ball inbounds; except when attempting a free throw. Does that seem right? |

Proposition? I think I was able to plead down to loitering!:D

So to make it more stupid. He's right, landing on two feet includes landing on the original foot, just like dribbling with two hands includes dribbling with the original hand. Oddly (or not) the rules are opposite for the two situations, in that landing on the one foot after jumping from it is illegal, while dribbling with two hands following a dribble. |

I really thought he might have been setting up to point out something more subtle about the wording of the rule. I was just playing along. sorta :D |

Would she of maybe been trying to pull of something like a jump stop that a lot of players do most of the time though, going forward? Maybe she was trying to do some sort of jump stop, but doing it in an awkward way to get away from a defender to get her shot off! Just thought I would throw that out there.
