thanks for the link, however the situation i described is not shown there... catch the ball with both feet in the air while dribbling, landing on both feet simultaneously and THEN making a step forward (say with the left foot) moving then the right foot off the floor, jump up using the standing left foot and shoot or pass before the right foot returns to the floor... |

Had a 6'6" player doing the drop step move successfully in a mens league last night. The opponents wanted travels all night!! I agreed with them that it looks funny, but told them it was legal. I told them it looks unfamiliar to them because its usually done in womens games.
The guy doing the move didnt like that too much ![]()

thanks guys for all of your replies so far...
so to ultimately clarify, the guys in this video is wrong saying its a travel when you dont jump off both feet simultaneously: Combo Move, Shot Fake/Step Through my min point is that you can of course jump much farther and hence do this move further away from the basket if you take a step and jump of this step after coming to a stop on both feet simultaneously..(i guess thats why it seems like traveling to so many people..) thanks for all the clarifications! |

1st thing to consider: are they ending the dribble(i.e gathering ball with 2 hands) with both feet off of floor or with one foot on floor. If they gather with one foot on floor and jump off of this foot and land simultneously on 2 feet then they would not be allowed to pivot. 2nd thing: if you gather the ball in air and land on 2 feet simultaneously you have not established a pivot foot until you lift one foot. The foot that stays on the floor becomes pivot foot. 3rd: with pivot foot on floor you can step with opposite foot , lift pivot foot, but ball must be released with shot or pass before pivot foot is returned to floor(this is step thru move). You cannot start dribble this way As far as video , I could pause it and see where the player gathers ball with one foot on floor,jumps to 2 feet , and pivots but it happens so fast in live action I don't think any good referee would call this. I don't agree that you have to jump off of both feet if you have a pivot foot as he said in video. Also I think on most of there moves they jumped off of front foot and lifted back foot(pivot foot) although pivot foot was only barely off of floor( pause video at 46 seconds). It is almost impossible to have feet staggered and jump forward without lifting backfoot first. Try it. Last edited by jump stop; Thu May 10, 2012 at 07:20am. |

Gathering the ball while in the air while dribbling on the run is a myth. Basketball players end their dribble with one foot on the ground when they are moving and dribbling. You do not need two hands to end a dribble. Saying they are 'in the air while dribbling' allows players illegal travels often resulting in scoring plays by giving the offensive player an extra step or undeserved foul call.
Years ago, players from Europe would play in the US and do this all of the time and be called for travel. Now we allow it in the US. Our game has turned into the European game with 3 step travels, holding, jump stops into pivots. Movement and flow has changed to grab and hold and isolations. |
