roll over traveling

Well you have to be rolling to gain an advantage.

That's just it, you don't. Violations, unlike fouls, are not based on advantage/disadvantage.

Three seconds? Ten seconds to shoot a free throw?

"It is important to know the intent and purpose of a rule so that it may
be intelligently applied in each play situation. A player or a team should not be
permitted an advantage which is not intended by a rule. Neither should play be
permitted to develop which may lead to placing a player at a disadvantage not
intended by a rule."

Are there some rules that don't involve fouls?

Billy, the traveling rule (and the 3 and 10 second rules you note) do not require advantage; by rule.

3 seconds typically requires either advantage or excess, and the 10 second FT rule typically requires even more excess. Even then, it's not how they were written; it's how they are expected.

Traveling, however, as far as I know, is not now (nor has it been) expected to be called only when an advantage is involved.

Momentum cannot constitute a travel no matter how far a player slides with the ball. IT only becomes a travel when he/she rolls over.

And even that is not if it is also part of the momentum of diving for the ball. The roll becomes a travel when it is no longer part of momentum.

Yes. Thanks for clarifying.

What I believe Snaqwells means (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that there's something typically concrete to look for in travelling, i.e., the pick up and replacement of the pivot foot. It's not about an advantange; it's about something defined.

Meanwhile, what exactly defines "rolling over?" Rolling 360 degrees? 180 degrees? I wouldn't say rolling 90 degrees (back to side, side to stomach) is rolling OVER, yet it seems the pluarility here believes thats enough to warrrant a travel.

That's why I started the other thread about this. I was also looking for something defined -- instead of an advantage -- so we're more likely on the same page with this call.

I agree. Mabey something should be sent to NFHS suggesting more clarity and making it more black and white instead of up to interpretation.

Still laughing about the "Pivot Cheek" comment.

This could mean any number of things, so let me try to restate so I understand.

Are you saying that in order to travel, you have to gain an advantage with the roll?

Are you saying that in order to travel, you have to be trying to gain an advantage with the roll?

Are you saying in order to gain an advantage, you have to roll (it may seem silly, but it's a possible meaning of the sentence as worded and I'm not sure it's any more crazy than the other two).

Must a player gain an advantage by moving his pivot foot illegally before you call the travel? If so, based on what wording of the rule? If not, why is it different?

I was told in our class in OhioHSAA we were told in order to travel, you have to have gained an advatage by rolling. I will see if I can ask someone in charge of our assosiation for more clarity, but they should be more clear in the book.

While it may be how they want you to enforce it; it's definitely not part of the rule. Perhaps some of our other Ohio members could verify whether that's the official position of the OHSAA or if it's the opinion of the person who taught your class. Could be either.

Again, however, the rule itself does not say it.

Most likely the opinion of the instructor. Cannot recall anyone at our state rules interpreter's meetings saying this is an advantage/disadvantage call.

I'm sure it's NOT the official OHSAA position, and I'm skeptical that an instructor would have said that.
