My mentor would often say that officials that see the pivot foot slide an inch are the same officials who miss more important action in a game. Top officials are busy refereeing the defense and don't see that pivot foot slide.

Sounds like a guy trying to rationalize why he missed some traveling calls. And I see a left foot sliding more than an inch.

That said, I don't consider a slide of 1" of a flat foot to be moving the pivot even if I see it....practically the entire shoe is covering entirely the same spot....even more than would be covered by the shoe after a typical pivot.

Jake is a beast!
Great move by Jake. No travel. However, KyBoy, since you see this official so often, ask him what he sees. Demonstrate the move, and ask for a ruling. If you do it legally, he'll probably say so, and tell you make sure not to drag your pivot foot, or let it come down before shooting.

I think there was a travel on this play (sliding the pivot foot), but I don't think that the official was calling that the travel. His reaction was way too delayed for that to be the case. I think he was calling the step through as the travel.
So, he got it wrong twice on the same play.

The player establishes the left foot as pivot, then when his right foot comes down, it looks like the left foot may slightly leave the floor before coming back down. I'm almost certainly not going to catch that in real time, and even if I do, it's a marginal call.
If we do not determine that the pivot foot had left the floor and come back up at that time, there is no travel since the ball was released on a try before the pivot foot touched the floor after he lunged toward the basket with his right foot. |
