Basketball Fans - Could Someone Knowledgeable Please Answer This Question?

A long time ago when I was in high school playing basketball, there used to be an offensive foul/turnover called "travelling" where if you took more than one step without dribbling the ball, the whistles blew and the other team got possession of the ball. Over the weekend, I was watching the last few minutes of a game and saw at least 3 players commit this infraction by running 3, 4, 3 steps without dribbling the ball on their way to making a layup. When did this cease to be a turnover?

What's to stop a player from grabbing a rebound, dribbling the ball once, and then running down the court with the ball tucked under his arm like in football and then shooting it? They may as well. And yes, I played basketball in high school - that was before the 30 second shot clock - at least once a year we'd have a score like 18 - 15 because one team or the other was good at ball control, but they would still get you for travelling.

Take look at this :Traveling (basketball)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, searchIn basketball, traveling is a violation of the rules that occurs when a player holding the ball illegally moves one or both of his feet. Most commonly, a player travels by illegally moving his pivot foot or taking too many steps without dribbling the ball. Traveling is sometimes also called "walking" or "steps."NCAAThe following is quoted from the NCAA 2006 Basketball Rules and Interpretations.

Rule 4, Section 48. 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. NFHS (U.S. Gh School)The NFHS traveling rule is almost identically worded, with an additional article clarifying restrictions regarding a player holding the ball while on the floor.

NBAThe NBA travel rule can be found here 1. The wording is vastly different than the NCAA and NFHS versions. While the practical results are similar, the NBA rule does allow more flexibility in choosing a pivot foot in some situations.

3 Well it depends...I'm guessing you were watching College BBall...then I would it all comes down to $$$$$$$ as in TV Revenue...Traveling happens so often in College and Pro's that if it was called every single time it would slow the game down to much...thus making it boring, thus making no one watch...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
