Perplexed Travel

[Refsmitty]

The move - player dribbling into paint... picks up (catch) the dribble - jumps between defenders, lands left foot - steps with right foot - makes layup - travel?

When the ball handler picks up their dribble, is he/she in the air and then lands left foot?

IF so, it's legal.

But, if the player was on the ground when s/he "picks up (catch) the dribble", it's a violation.

So, no wonder you're perplexed -- you didn't describe the most important piece of information.

He does say. "Picks up the dribble, then jumps". The way I read it, he is on the floor when the dribble ends.

That's how I visualized it, just double checking. Bob came through with correct answers either way.

I know what the right answer is but riddle me this...is there actually a rule that prevents a player without an established pivot foot from jumping from both feet and landing on one?

There's a case.

Yes. When they jump, one of the two feet is the pivot, take your pick as to which left the floor first (it doesn't really matter which you pick).

ART. 1 . . . A player who catches the ball with both feet on the floor, may pivot, using either foot. When one foot is lifted, the other is the pivot foot.

Then, having jumped, neither foot can return to the floor without releasing the ball for a shot/pass.

ART. 3 . . . After coming to a stop and establishing a pivot foot:
b. If the player jumps, neither foot may be returned to the floor before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal.

Refsmitty, just stand up and do this play now - what do you think?

[Refsmitty]

I think I would hurt myself!

I got a travel with the move I was discussing.
