"He LIFTED his Pivot Foot!!!!"

[cshs81]

The next time you're at a game and you get ready to yell the above, I want you to pause and then think about what you're actually saying.

 

I'm always amazed at how often I hear people yell this at refs.

I have yelled he dragged his pivot foot, because you can do that and it happens and is a walk!

And what are you actually saying? Please clarify.

You can lift it, you just can't put it back down. I believe.

You can't lift your pivot foot. Once you have the ball and have established a pivot foot, the only thing you can do is turn. If you lift it, move it, or slide it - its a walk.

Don't they lift it when they jump to shoot?

I'm gonna have to disagree.

Wireman, see LRCW's response. If your version was right, basketball would be a game of set shots.

 

From the rulebook:

 

Once the pivot foot is established, it can be lifted but not returned to the floor before the ball is released.

The statement to end it all. Too bad, I was having fun listening to the arguing go on.:argue:

So what are you amazed about and what are you actually saying?

Well, I guess I'm always amazed at how many people yell that(and then get on here and say how bad the refs are) without knowing that its legal.

 

Isn't that obvious?

[letabrotherspeak]

Yep....

How about people that scream and holler regarding over and back.

People don't understand that either....

[zippidiedoda]

can anyone tell me why a "jump-stop" is not a walk???

There's a move that Darius Miller has perfected. I hear howls from the other side of the gym every time he does it!

If you read between the lines, you realize what cshs is saying. He's a geek...
