Talk:Traveling (basketball)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The comment about referees commonly ignoring travelling is given without citation, nor is it entirely accurate. Though I cannot recall the exact wording of the rules, it's related to something on the order of 1-1/2 steps. Hopefully someone with more initiative can check on this.

Before you put the ball on the floor to dribble or after you pick up your dribble, you can pivot on either foot. If you lift your pivot foot, you must pass or shoot before you put it back on the floor. This is why it's legal to do things like an "up-and-under" move, pull up for a jump shot after you've picked your dribble up, the sky hook, a fadeaway, or a pivot hook. This rule applies to high school ball, college, nba, and most other leagues.Altarbo 03:16, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
