Video Request: Dec. 19 Arizona-UTEP Traveling???

[ZonaZebra]

Not sure if the video gurus are able to secure clips from FOX 1 but it sure would be great to take a look at three potential travel plays. I describe them as potential as all three were allowed but they looked like traveling to me.

I am currently struggling when a player driving to the basket who then plants a foot (which to me is his pivot foot), and then spins away from the defender and swings that foot around and uses it to propel himself into a jump shot.

The plays occurred at:

#32 white 11:32 left in first half

#5 blue 8:53 left in first half

#5 blue 19:31 left in second half

Thanks for any help any one can provide.

1. This move is used all the time.

2. It is a travel.

3. It almost never gets called.


I called it in my BV game this week and the coaches on the bench reacted violently. Hard to blame them. They see the same move on tv so often without a whistle.

Here are the requested plays:

all three were travels, that seldom get calls at either the college or high school level.

Yup.

It's odd to me that this one has become like the "2" step play on drives to the hole. Something illegal but accepted. I don't think the spin move is as difficult to see as the drive, as far as when the ball is gathered.

I think it would easy to "POE" this play back in line with the rules, if those in charge wanted to.

It was a POE several years ago. More than once, I think. It ain't working.

Just like the "automatic" hand checks. I turn on the TV and see it being called RSBQ-style.
