IS THAT A TRAVEL? NBA Rules Revealed...Were you right?

Part 1 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm9e8vc__hg Go watch part 1 and read all the comments...A lot of us were wrong on this one...matter of fact I was 0 for 2. And if you're a player looking to get better then grab this free workout here: http://ballerbootcamp.com/sww I was actually really surprised to see that the NBA had an actual video describing why the Yugo Step is a travel. I couldn't find a video on there about the Step Through probably because it's legal, but I did find a few articles online stating that it isn't a travel. So now you know guys. And a quick disclaimer...all refs are different so yes you can still get called for a travel doing that step through. I still don't think I will teach my players to step all the way through and jump off of 1 foot because my guess is that they will get called for traveling sometimes. And remember that the NBA travel rules are the same at other levels, but the refs in that league are just more lenient so you have to be careful when mimicking certain things you see on tv. Ok, I hope you guys liked this video and if you did hit that like button and leave me a comment to let me know. Have a great day. #WeDedicated, Augie Johnston P.S. Check out a few more videos...

1. They are both travels
2. I was right!!!!
3. Yea I believed we watched the same video for the first reasoning woooooo
4. 2 for 2. The yugo to me is basically like a slow continuous hop step so I assumed it's a travel. For the step through, I'm watching the GS vs DAL game right now and Ian Clark just did a step through and no travel call.
5. I call bullshit on the step through, do that anywhere except the NBA (where calling travels is a rare occasion) and it will be a travel.
6. no
7. wassup
8. Actually, you were right on your first guesses. The first one is NOT a travel (at least the way you did it). The second one IS a travel.
   
   Ruling:
   If the ball comes to rest in your hand while the (in your case) left foot is in contact with the floor and you jump off that foot you are allowed only ONE more contact. By Fiba rules this could actually be any foot. NBA for some reason disallows same foot for second contact. They added that rule in the 13/14 rules (at least that is where I first saw it). Which is actually an unnecessary addition to the rules, as I have never seen any player jump left, left, shot... But they introduced that rule to prevent players from jumping left, left, right, shot, which is a traveling anyway as those are three contacts. Anyhow, if you jump off of your left and THEN pick up the ball, you may land on any foot for the first contact. This rule is misinterpreted. If you watch the NBA videos used to school their referees, you will notice that in all of their examples concerning that rule, they talk about the player having contact with their foot while they pick up the ball, then jump off and land again on same foot!
   
   Second one:
   When you come to a stop and the pivot is established (as in your demonstration) you may NOT jump off your pivot and return to the floor with ANY foot. That is why it is a traveling violation. If you had stayed in contact with the floor when stepping through and then lifted the pivot foot while the other foot is already in contact with the floor, it would have been legal. There is a subtle but critical difference. This is also a commonly misunderstood rule.
   
   You picked two very good examples. I frequently teach these two situations, when schooling referees. I see it refereed incorrectly much too often.
   
   (BTW: I have refereed semi-pro Fiba-basketball for many years, but the rules are the same in that respect in the NBA except for the above mentioned difference, and am a referees' coach and teach basketball at university level. Hope this helps to clarify these two situations.)
9. Actually both moves are a travel. The first move, you gathered the ball ( picked up the dribble) off of your left foot. Then your left foot was also first to land on your hop. That is a travel. You would need to land with both feet at the same time, then establish your pivot foot after that.
10. 2 for 2. also, that yugo step is being called a "hop travel" by the NBA refs now. i don't think it's a travel in FIBA, because you are correct is saying that they just started calling it a travel in the NBA within the last few years.
11. The Yugo shown is a travel due to him landing on the foot he gathers. Its a Hop Travel
12. Thanks for the info. I was thinking the same thing as you at first ha. Now that I know the truth, I'll make sure to explain the correct way to certain moves. When get my first coaching job that is
13. It's simple really
    Yugo step is a travel according to the NBA rules but not a travel according to the rest of the world (FIBA etc).
    Which is bit ridiculous due to the fact that we can see NBA players doing even more than regular 2 steps all the time.
     I'm from ex Yugoslavia, we learnt that step in school, we called it extended two-step and it's perfectly legal. You can see players in Europe doing it all the time.
    
    The second one is a travel even on Mars :D
14. If the step through is a travel then every running layup or dunk would be a travel..Let me explain..So for someone who jumps off their left leg to go up for a right handed layup or dunk. They pick up their dribble after left foot hits the ground and then take their first step with their right foot then as they lift their left foot for their second step this makes their right foot their pivot foot which they of course lift from the ground as they jump off their left foot for the layup or dunk. Point proven :) Its the act of placing ones pivot foot back down after lifting it from the floor that is a travel or of course sliding or dragging it to gain an advantage is also a travel. Now to the person who said its a travel because if not then the person could just lift their pivot foot and just hop down the court on the ir other foot as long as they dont put pivot foot back down. Well thats why their is a rule that states you cannot jump off one foot and land back on the same foot.You can jump off one foot and land on both feet or the opposite foot but not on the same one you jumped from. hope that all makes sense. :)
15. Bro the yoger step is just like a pro but you get call for it every time in Les you play over seas
16. u clearly arent a ref. these are easy calls
17. noooooooo, u are changing pivots! u can lift pivot, yes, but the foot on the ground is the pivot, so if you step on the other foot it's a travel. it's a misinterpretation. yes u can lift pivot, but u can't switch pivots. when the pivot is lifted, what do u call the other foot that is on the ground???
18. 2-2 but still useful vid thanks!
19. This Article 3 (or whatever) rule that you can lift your pivot foot but not return to the playing court before releasing the ball is utter bollocks cause if you follow it literally, allows you to hop on the other foot across the whole field as long as you don't return the pivot foot to the court !? Really.
    FIBA rules however allow you to jump off the pivot foot but no foot can be returned to the court before the ball is released, making the step through illegal.
20. but since that step through is a fake and not in the motion of shooting wouldn't that be considered to be a travel?
