When Kobe landed on his right foot he established a pivot foot. He then lifted that foot and it hit the ground again without shooting or dribbling. By FIBA rules he traveled. Waiting for that apology DD. You said my interpretation of the rule is wrong and the NBA version is the same every where in the world. You then used that to questions my role as a coach. You were wrong, apologise! Where I am from is irrelevant. Where I am from, we play under FIBA rules. We have a system that is not associated with the school system. Toe be part of FIBA you must apply the FIBA rules.
He did not travel the first foot down is not a pivot foot or else every single LAYUP in the history of the NBA/FIBA or any other league would be traveling. Rockets_fanatic is holding on to some obscure interpetation to cover up for his insanity. The first foot down led to the jump stop...NOT a travel anywhere in the world. As for an apology, I suggest holding your breath..... LOL DD
The official FIBA rule book begs to differ. By NBA rules sure it wasn't a travel. Every where else it is a travel. He established his pivot foot, and then lifted it off the ground. Since he didn't not pass or shoot before it hit the ground, he traveled, by FIBA rules. Read the rules again. You are...WRONG!
SOme more educational material for DD. Everything from the rules which I posted, to the rules for two person officiating, three person officiating, interpretations, equipment rules. http://www.fiba.com/pages/eng/fc/FIBA/ruleRegu/p/openNodeIDs/897/selNodeID/897/baskOffiRule.html
You just can't admit you are wrong. You said the NBA rule is the same every where in the world, but I just proved via the FIBA rule book that the NBA is the exception. As soon as Kobe's foot hit the ground that was his pivot foot. He lifted it, did not shot or pass before it hit the ground therefore outside the NAB it is a travel. You're statement is wrong.
Nope, he took one step to establish the jump stop as his pivot feet....not a travel anywhere in the world. You are reaching..... DD
Read the FIBA rule book. He caught the ball with a foot on the ground. That therefore became his pivot foot. That is what the rule clearly states. You either cannot read, or just choose not to read it. "▬ If both feet are off the floor and the player lands on one foot, then that foot becomes the pivot foot." There it is again for you.
This is exactly what happened. The close up is around. :54 seconds, RF is just wrong about his interpetation and is going down in his sinking ship. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9eGQ1EFw__c&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9eGQ1EFw__c&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> DD
