NBA.com - NBA’s Misunderstood Rules If a player has one foot on the floor or lands with one foot first to the floor, he may only pivot with that foot. Once that foot is lifted from the floor to shoot or pass it may not return until the ball is released. If a player jumps off one foot on the count of one he may land with both feet simultaneously for count two.He caught the dribble with one foot on the floor in front of the 3-point line. He stepped back with the other foot and then back for another step with the first foot. That, according to the NBA rule, is indeed a travel. |

Another thing, that website is old...it uses old language that the rule book does not use anymore. The rule I quoted is from the current rule book. What you've quoted is referencing language from 2008 I believe (and even then, I don't believe this would have been a violation back then either). |
Here is Joe Borgia, NBA Vice President of Referee Operations, on Making the Call with Joe Borgia. He explains it quite well...

I thought the illegal screen on LBJ was right.
I don't know the NBA rule set, but for NFHS I believe it is a travel. On the verticality play, I thought it was a good call. |
Did anyone notice that the old trail made that call on the illegal screen, almost from half court? Crawford was right in front of the call and it was inside the arc. He was C at the time, transitioning to trail (the lead was across the lane as the whistle was blown) and was right in front of the play.
I just thought that coverage was rather odd considering Crawford was right in front of the matchups and gave the call up yet the trail was the one who made that call from that far back. |

I know I had a situation in camp where this kind of situation happened where I was "On ball" and a screen took place around the ball. I did not call a foul because I did not really see the entire play and when the evaluator commented on the play they talked about how "we" missed it. But mostly let me off the hook by saying, "You were on ball and needed help from your partner." In my experience as well this is a good get from another official because the player likely came from someone's primary to the ball to set a screen. I also know an former NBA official/current NBA evaluator in my area often talks about this kind of play and needed two officials to officiate the area in these situations. Peace |
