The things that are wrong with kid's basketball are parents and coaches trying to live life through the kids. Parents and coaches who take basketball way too seriously cause all the problems.

I know I'm part of the problem and would turn down anything at a lower price if I didn't need the money. But, this weekend, I needed the money!

If you pick up the dribble and then jump and the feet land simultaneously; then you do not have a pivot foot though. You have to shoot or pass.

Players are always reaching and going over the back!

Jump stop/pivot/step

I know it is travelling if a player does a jump stop and then takes a step or pivots. It is also travelling if a player's feet do not land simultaneously.

Is this rule different in college?

I think the key is whether or not it was a pass or losing the ball unintentionally (fumble). Am I right? That would make it a judgement call as to whether we think it was a pass or a fumble.

Fumble or self-pass

Offensive player starts to pass the ball. The ball slips from his hand and goes four or five feet away.

Can the player go get the ball or is it travelling?

Is it different if the player...
