Ask a Ref: Pivot Foot & Traveling (Video)

[meddie24]

I completely get that, but the easiest way around it and why it looks so funny and may be confusing is because the layup is coming off the forward motion of the dribble instead of the stationary position of the individual pivoting.

Again, I just think a HS ref. would call a travel if the kid caught the ball at the 3pt line and after 3-4 seconds took a one footed super jump with no dribble inward and then leaping off that first landed foot towards the basket tossed the ball towards the hoop before the second foot ever had the chance to touch the ground again.
