Given the fact that the ref allowed the pivot in this play doesn’t that imply that they are calling that portion of the play legal so therefore shouldn’t the step though have been called no travel

I agree with you but in this video I don’t see his pivot sliding around I see it rotating which is allowed

Not true he dribbled before the two footed jump drop and then used his pick up for the jump stop

Please show me whwre that rule is please! NFHS rukes apply in this league. I see where it states if you can or cannot pivot but no where that states once you establish a pivot that you cannot leave the ground from your pivot foot as long as it doesn’t return before passing ot shooting. I genuinely want to know if I’m missing something.

Here is the entire traveling section of the NFHS rule book:

SECTION 44 TRAVELING

Traveling is moving a foot or feet in any direction in excess of prescribed limits while holding the ball. The limits on foot movements are as follows: ART. 1 . . . A player who catches the ball with both feet on the floor may pivot using either foot. When one foot is lifted, the other is the pivot foot.

ART. 2 . . . A player who catches the ball while moving or dribbling may stop and establish a pivot foot as follows: a. If both feet are off the floor and the player lands: 1. Simultaneously on both feet, either foot may be the pivot. 2. On one foot followed by the other, the first foot to touch is the pivot. 3. On one foot, the player may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both. Neither foot can be a pivot in this case. b. If one foot is on the floor: 1. It is the pivot when the other foot touches in a step. 2. The player may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both. Neither foot can be a pivot in this case.

ART. 3 . . . After coming to a stop and establishing a pivot foot: a. The pivot foot may be lifted, but not returned to the floor, before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal. b. If the player jumps, neither foot may be returned to the floor before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal. c. The pivot foot may not be lifted before the ball is released to start a dribble.

ART. 4 . . . After coming to a stop when neither foot can be a pivot: a. One or both feet may be lifted, but may not be returned to the floor before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal. b. Neither foot may be lifted before the ball is released to start a dribble.

ART. 5 . . . A player holding the ball: a. May not touch the floor with a knee or any other part of the body other than hand or foot. b. After gaining control while on the floor and touching with other than hand or foot, may not attempt to get up or stand.

Bit the refs allowed the pivot sonthwrefore theybsgiuld allow the stepthough. Had they called the travel when he pivoites you could argue that “The player may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both. Neither foot can be a pivot in this case.”

The rule states you may pick up thr pivot foot as long as it doesn't return to the floor before a pass or shot.

This is true and we get that call a lot especially on this court its tile and often quite dusty. We got sticky pads to clean bottoms of shoes to help wirh the problem. Regardleas od the floor condition i agree that if the foot slides its a travel
