When is A jump stop consider a travel?

I still would like to know how distance travelled got into the equation. Did someone suggest it to you or does it just look funny if someone can jump that far?

The question has been asked by coaches.
Examples:
A player "jump stops" from behind the 3pt line and lands by the 2 feet in front of the ft line.

Most HS age atheltes should be able to jump > 6 feet from a standing start. Give them a moving start (as on a dribble) and landing where you suggest shouldn't be a problem at all. It's all in whether they "stick the landing" (in the coach's play).

So some coach think the rules define traveling in terms of how far a player can jump?

Wow.

Wow.

Rule change for '13-'14, coaches have to take same test as officials??

Edit: On second thought, not sure if that would increase our headaches or decrease them...

Good idea. I wouldn't make this a condition of coaching, but if they fail the test they must wear a dunce cap to every contest.

Coaches complain as it is. And Even worse when it looks funny. Especially if their own players can't stop it or do the same as the other players.

In Kansas, head coaches are in fact required to take the same NFHS test as officials and pass it.

That being said, they all get the answers from somewhere and pass them around to each other, so...

Well my computer won't play the audio (which is probably a good thing), but I would direct the speaker to Rule 4-44-2 and ask him to justify his assertion. Check that one out and see what you think - is he right?

It depends one when the ball is gathered and what the player does afterward...

If the ball is gathered with a foot on the floor, the player may jump off that foot and land simultaneously on both feet...he MAY NOT pivot at this point.

If the ball is gathered while both feet are in the air, the player may land simultaneously and may pivot with either foot.

Finally, if a player gathers the ball with both feet in the air, lands on one foot...then lands simultaneously on both feet, he MAY NOT pivot at this point.

APG, instead of embedding all these videos for people, why not instruct them how?

Give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. Teach a man how to embed videos, he will know how forever (or until he forgets)...
