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.
