For once, an accurate post - if for no other reason than you can effectively read my username. You've just proved yourself more accurate than Mike Kitts was this weekend.

You never did point out the rule that says it's legal to take two steps after the ball is gathered.

Don't know why, but I always think he looks like a turtle





perhaps because he runs kind of hunched over with his back bent and head & neck extending forward.

Turtle! Phil Bova always ran with a hunched back.

Legal layup: gather occurs just after player leaves his feet on the run. His right foot then comes down (pivot). His right foot then goes back up as his left comes down (1 step). He then jumps.

Calling this play two steps is not rules language, but fan/player/coach speak.

If the gather happens with that left foot on the floor, then that's his pivot, and he travels as soon as it hits the floor. And this is more accurately considered to be two steps than a legal layup.

Saying that taking two steps is, by rule, legal, is just flat out wrong.

Doing so in a post ripping an official for a judgment error is ironic.
