How embarrassing will it be?

From WikiAnswers -

More than 2 (two) steps from running position and more than 1 (one) step from stadning position.

According to the Official Rules of the National Basketball Association, Rule No. 10 - Violations and Penalties Section XIV-Traveling: "A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may use a twocount rhythm in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball"

Also same rules state that "A player who receives the ball while standing still may pivot, using either foot as the pivot foot." Which means that you are allowed to make only 1 (one) step from a standing position without lifting second leg, which is called pivot.

Not sure how college describes this.

 

For the NCAA in 2009 -

Rule 4, Section 50.
Pivot:

Art. 1. A pivot takes place when a player who is holding the ball steps once
or more than once in any direction with the same foot, while the other foot,
called the pivot foot, is kept at its point of contact with the playing court.

Rule 4, Section 66.
Travel:

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.
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 simultane-
ously 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.
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 play-
ing 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 drib-
ble.
Art. 6. It is traveling when a player falls to the playing court while holding the
ball without maintaining a pivot foot.

 

You posted right after I mentioned embarrassment again, so I thought maybe you meant we were supposed to be embarrrassed by the travelling call.

 

So according to the rules, not blatant horrible at all. Go figure.

I am just glad to see you are doing well again Sly. Been kinda worried about you the past few years.

 

LOL! Look dipshit. He was dribbling and then took his allowed 2 steps. Dont even know why you mention pivot feet.

The slow mo makes it quite clear is was a terrible call. One which directly led to Roy's first NC.

 

Good God. Your reading comprehension sucks. Seriously, you are borderline retarded if you think the rules you posted mean that was a borderline call.

 

You absolutely should be embarrassed by that traveling call.

 

I guess you only read the one from the NBA which has nothing to do with the NCAA and failed to read that one? The one for the NCAA clearly states the pivot foot can't touch the court, so that would be one step?


Like I said, it's good to see you back.
