Let’s talk step back 3 / travel or not

[HawkRose]

First off I don’t blame this play on Iowa’s loss but I would like a clear understanding of the rule.

understandimg is that the player when making the step back hop has to land both feet simultaneously. They also need to make the hop before establishing a pivot foot “both hands on ball”.

First half carr step back:


I believe one in second half was bigger violation.

Explaining college basketball’s new traveling rules and how Big 12 players and coaches plan to adjust

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Think back to March, when Kansas State was trying to parlay a Big 12 regular-season championship into a conference tournament title at the Sprint Center.

Personally hate seeing this NBA garbage infiltrating college ball. Convince me otherwise.

should be travel 100% of the time, end of story!!

 

[Slim45]

Yes absolutely a travel. The one in video probably isn’t, the one 2nd half definitely was

 

[Hayes_30]

Clean.

 

[robchawk]

Clean.

the one in the second half was a travel, so clarify which one you are talking about, the one above is clean, the one in the second half was not--

 

[hawkisoaker]

Just more pathetic breaking of the rules so "fans" are more entertained but at the expense of the game.

ISU troll.

It’s a travel. If a player did the same move and passed it instead of a shot they’d blow the whistle.

I don't see how it's not a travel.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Well that settles it. The refs cheated, f*** Minnesota, and they should forfeit the game.

I feel better already.

Why is JT allowed to carry the ball all the time? When Woolridge did that all the time he'd at least get called once a game to keep it honest. And now it's never called. Why is Garza allowed to hook everybody in the post during his up and unders? There are a lot of things that used to be called more than they are now. It's annoying but if it goes both ways you live with it.

It should be a travel just like when Garza changed pivot feet when splitting 2 defenders and was called...

I liked Carr’s double step back from the corner late in the game. He took one step back that didn’t create enough space so he took a 2nd step back.

You can do it with out traveling but most of the time its a travel.

The one in the second half was 4 steps.

To make it actually be a clean play you're last forward step needs to happen simultaneously with a dribble.
Then you can take 2 steps back.

The reffs are letting more and more slop go with step backs and euro steps. Its annoying.

I was going to ask about that one. Why was that a travel? He kept the same pivot foot and then only lifted his pivot off the ground in order to shoot.

Nvm I just watched it again and he kept his other non pivot foot down while lifting his pivot. I thought I saw him jump off of both at the same time when watching it live.

I was referred to the video.

It was a travel. The refs also missed a travel on Joe T at the end that should have saved us the game, had he been able to make one of his free throws.
