I think it depends on how far he carries it like that. a step or two, nothing. Halfway down the court, travel.

If he has it on his back halfway down the court, then that's just poor defense. If you'd call traveling, then you're also saying you'd grant a timeout (absent your traveling call). I have a hard time seeing anyone try and pass that one off.

1. Legal

2. I agree with Snaqs, a few steps probably nothing but half the court, I'd consider a travel. I'd also wonder what the heck the defense was thinking.

3. Sounds legal but if not, I'd caution the player for unsporting conduct. Oh wait, wrong sport.

IOW, you would adjudicate the same as any other travel call?
