Or slides on his back from the frontcourt into the backcourt and catches the ball with his feet also sliding on the floor?

Backtravel? Gluteus Maximus court violation? Bogus erroneous crapolous?

But..., but..., I need a time-out!

As a new referee, I was wondering:
What is the mechanic or signal for a backtravel?

This is an easy one...simply turn your back to the scorers table, bend over so your butt is facing the table, and then slap your own behind exactly three times with each hand...now many rookies make the mistake of slapping with both hands at once, but the NBA officials will tell you that it should be left-right-left-right-left-right, and should have a definiote beat that your partner can dance to,,,

Mick - where's that brownpop...I need it badly!!

Actually, in Nevada this is a travel as soon as his butt hits the floor. It should also be a travel anywhere NFHS rules are used!

PS Are you being a sore arse? :D

No, just yanking your chain! I figured you could take it. ;)
