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

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. |

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?

Let's say theoretically though he jumps so that both feet leave the floor simultaneously without any difference between the two. The rules do not discern in this case which foot is the pivot. If there's no pivot established then Article 3 wouldn't apply. I don't think the rule was meant to be interpreted that way but it's an interesting little hole. Please be assured I know what the right call is here and I'd make it without hesitation, I'm just having a little fun playing rulebook lawyer. Bob, do you happen to have which case that is?

OK that works. I saw that the first time and must have skimmed over it since it was relating to a dribble but I definitely see how it fits.
I'll put my copy of Black's away now. Thanks!
