Front pivot moves: traveling or not?

[MDP]

Yes, I am referring to the moves in the first minute or so of the video.

You say that the NBA has different rules: would any of those moves be traveling in the NBA?

Also, does it make a difference if the player starts the move from a standing position (as in the video), or if he does it after collecting his dribble, *assuming that he does have a pivot foot*?

No, all would be legal.

No.

Once you understand what traveling actually is, it's very easy to see that these moves are all legal. Very briefly, traveling is (usually) lifting the pivot foot and then returning it to the floor before the ball is released on a try or pass.

When you watch the video, you can see that, in all of the moves demonstrated, the ball handler is very careful to lift the pivot foot but NOT return it to the floor.

The "front pivot" (whatever that means) moves at the beginning weren't even close to traveling, IMO. Maybe his "back pivot" moves are illegal, but I quit watching after the first segment.

I stopped watching a few minutes in the video as well, but what I saw was legal.

You can lift your pivot foot but can't return to floor if you are passing or shooting. You can't lift your when starting a dribble.
He lifts pivot foot when but shoots prior to returning to floor in these moves so no travel .

I have made a video to demonstrate determining the pivot foot and jump stops
