Refsmitty Shooter gets a pass in the corner for a 3 point try. He takes a quick baby hop before jumping into his shot - I think that is a travel by rule - do you call that?
OKREF I've called it, several times. It does get missed a lot though. The times I've called it, a defensive player was running at the shooter, and the shooter does it do avoid the defensive player to get a clean look.
JRutledge I have also called is several times if it is obvious. I try not to nitpick this, but often it is very obvious and I even called in Saturday in my game. Again much of this is judgment. Peace
Adam Like Rut, I call it when it's obvious and leave it alone when it's not. Sometimes it's quite obviously a legal jump stop, so you can't call it even if you just called it on the other team who did it wrong.

Coaches here takes notice of it and complain when it is not called, especially when used to create space from the defender.
BigT If it creates an advantage hoping away from the defense its a travel? If they hop giving the defense more time to defend it then its not a travel? And its the same hop. No dribble picking up the pivot and putting it down.

BillyMac SC Official wroteSince when does advantage/disadvantage matter on violations? Ten second free throw count?
Rich SC Official wroteSince when does advantage/disadvantage matter on violations? Three second violations certainly are, especially by officials I want to work with.
SC Official Rich wroteThree second violations certainly are, especially by officials I want to work with. You're right. That was not a completely accurate statement on my part.
Camron Rust Rich wroteThree second violations certainly are, especially by officials I want to work with. That could just as easily be categorized under intent and purpose of the rule without directly considering advantage/disadvantage in the traditional sense even though the rule really is addressing a specific advantage (tall players camping at the basket).
Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. Advantage/disadvantage as espoused in the Owald Tower Philosophy applies to contact and not violations. Therefore, a travel is a travel is a travel. MTD, Sr.
Rob1968 I try to make this call only when I'm certain that the player has controlled the ball, with both feet on the floor, and then re-positions both feet. I give a benefit of doubt regarding whether the player has control of the ball.

I give a benefit of doubt regarding whether the player has control of the ball. And I give a benefit of the doubt as to whether it's a jump stop (catch with one foot on the floor, hop off it and land on two feet simultaneously).

Rob1968 bob jenkins wroteAnd I give a benefit of the doubt as to whether it's a jump stop (catch with one foot on the floor, hop off it and land on two feet simultaneously). We may recall the father who posted the video of his daughter, who made a jumpstop to the rear, and the father said that it was called a travel. A clean jumpstop can catch an anxious official by surprise.
