Airborne player catches the ball and lands right foot, then left foot.

He then steps with his right foot. Traveling.


Traveling is about moving the pivot foot outside the prescribed limits while holding the ball.

Succinct. Nothing about counting steps.

Makes sense to me now. Thanks.

I agree it's not about number of steps, but this is still illustrative of the joke that is the NBE:

That video [in above-cited post] is a great "training aid" for those of you refs that want to work NBA games---it really shows how to 'pass' on typical traveling violations--which is a proficiency that must be assiduosly developed if you are to ref in the NBA.

In your scenario the landing of the left foot would be the 'first' step and the subsequent step with the right would be the 'second', illegal step.

But we shouldn't even be talking about steps because that's not NFHS and NCAA rule book language, right??
