Jump Stop

[JRutledge]

Traveling at all levels is the most inconsistently called thing in all of basketball IMO. Never been told not to call them. Actually have seen video from the NCAA highlighting this part of the rule. I do think officials go out of their way not to call something that is so technical, but not something you hear a lot of people admit openly. I have called them at the college level just like I have called them at the HS level. But I can tell you I rarely see a jump-stop travel called at a HS game either. Most officials IMO just do not recognize when it takes place and it is often not called properly. Just like when I see an actual jump stop committed, but called improperly called for a violation.

It continues to be the hardest call for me, not block/charge, not tough out of bounds calls, not coaches crossing some line in the sand, not advantage/disadvantage on possible fouls. After thirty-four years, some travel calls are still a challenge.
