Just in case you didn't see it...

Henderson blatant forearm. (No call)

WVU retaliation with Hendo flop. (Admittedly no call there either)

 

You get an A+ in reading comprehension.

 

and you get an F-

 

Since when?

if that's a travel, then multiple travels happen on both teams every game.


And remind me to never play basketball with you guys. You only get one step and then it's a travel.

How many points do you get when you shot behind the three point line?

 

Section 66. Traveling
Art. 1. Traveling occurs when a player holding the ball moves a foot or both
feet in any direction in excess of prescribed limits described in this rule.
A.R. 105. A1 attempts a try at Team A’s basket after having completed the dribble. The
try does not touch the backboard, the ring or the flange or any other player. A1 runs and
catches the ball before it strikes the playing court. Is this traveling? RULING: When A1
recovered his or her own try, A1 could either dribble, pass or try again. There is no team
control by either team when a try is in flight. However, when the shot clock expires and
a try by A1 or a teammate has not struck the ring or the flange, it shall be a violation of
the shot-clock rule.
A.R. 106. A1, while airborne, catches the ball in an attempt to prevent a live ball
from going out of bounds. A1 throws the ball to the floor as his/her momentum
causes him/her to land out of bounds. A1 returns to the playing court where he/she (a)
recovers the ball, or (b) continues to dribble. The official calls a traveling violation. Is
the official correct? RULING: No. In (a) and (b) the official was incorrect in calling
a traveling violation because when A1 caught the ball while airborne, he/she had no
established pivot foot. When he/she threw the ball to the floor, returned to the floor
after being legally out of bounds and was the first to touch the ball, it became a dribble.
In (a), when A1 recovered the ball, he/she ended his dribble. In (b), A1 is permitted to
continue his/her dribble.
Art. 2. A player who catches the ball with both feet on the playing court may
pivot, using either foot. When one foot is lifted, the other is the pivot foot.
Art. 3. A player who catches the ball while moving or dribbling may stop
and establish a pivot foot as follows:
a. When both feet are off the playing court and the player lands:
1. Simultaneously on both feet, either may be the pivot foot;
2. On one foot followed by the other, the first foot to touch shall be
the pivot foot;
3. On one foot, the player may jump off that foot and simultaneously
land on both; neither foot can be the pivot foot.
b. When one foot is on the playing court:
1. That foot shall be the pivot foot when the other foot touches in a
step;
2. The player may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on
both; neither foot can then be the pivot foot.
Art. 4. After coming to a stop and establishing the pivot foot:
a. The pivot foot may be lifted, but not returned to the playing court,
before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal;
b. The pivot foot shall not be lifted before the ball is released to start a
dribble.
A.R. 107. A1 receives a pass from A2 and comes to a stop legally with the right foot
established as the pivot foot. A1 tosses the ball from one hand to the other several times
and then proceeds to bat the ball to the floor before A1 lifts the pivot foot. RULING:
Legal.
A.R. 108. A1 attempts to catch the ball while running. A1 fumbles the ball and succeeds
in securing it before it strikes the playing court. A1 then begins a dribble, taking several
steps between the time A1 first touched the ball until catching it. RULING: There has
been no violation provided that A1 released the ball to start the dribble before lifting the
pivot foot from the playing court after catching the ball.
A.R. 109. A1, after (a) receiving a pass, or (b) ending his dribble, jumps into the air on
a try for goal. A1 is contested by B1 and since he could not get his try for goal off, he
voluntarily throws the ball to the playing court. In both (a) and (b), A1 is the first to touch
the ball. RULING: In (a), A1 has committed a violation because he did not release the
ball before picking up his pivot foot. In (b), A1’s release of the ball, after being airborne,
was the start of a second dribble. When A1 touched the ball, he committed a violation.
Art. 5. After coming to a stop when neither foot can be the pivot foot:
a. One or both feet may be lifted, but may not be returned to the playing
court, before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal;
b. Neither foot shall be lifted, before the ball is released, to start a
dribble.
A.R. 110. Is it traveling when a player (a) falls to the playing court while holding the
ball; or (b) gains control of the ball while on the playing court and then, because of
momentum, rolls or slides, after which the player passes or starts a dribble before getting
to his or her feet? RULING: In (a), yes, because it is virtually impossible not to move
the pivot foot when falling to the playing floor. In (b), no. The player may pass, shoot,
start a dribble or call a timeout. Once the player has the ball and is no longer sliding,
he or she may not roll over. When flat on his or her back, the player may sit up without
violating. When the player puts the ball on the floor, then rises and is the first to touch
the ball, it also is traveling. When a player rises to his or her feet while holding the ball,
it is traveling. When a player falls to one knee while holding the ball, it is traveling if the
pivot foot moves.

 

Cliff's notes plz, kthx.

 

b. When one foot is on the playing court:
1. That foot shall be the pivot foot when the other foot touches in a
step;

if the player then picks up said pivot foot and places it on the floor without dribbling the basketball he is TRAVELLING.


wydd How many points do you get when you shot behind the three point line?

duh -- I get four - plus I get to accidentally land my elbow on your nose as I spastically execute my "leg whip, kick out fall down manuver" which will garner me the plus one.

 

check out this travel (actually two travels).

 

yup. Go back and look. I've said before when we were talking about this game that he traveled.

 

if anything, the UNC defender tripped up the Nova player and should have been called for a foul. I doubt UNCfever would admit that, even after "watching the video a few times."
