:sssh:

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

 

Because one day they deemed it wasn't? Truthfully, I don't know. Theoretically, if one can get away with a jump stop there is no reason to call a walk when they jump up to take a shot and come right back down without shooting.

Jump stops aren't walks as long as both feet come down together. If the come down "1-2" (which a lot of kids are getting away with because they do it so fast) then it is a walk...

Because you are allowed to catch the ball and land. When you dribble into a jump stop, you should be catching the ball in the air and then landing with it (if you are doing it properly). You must hold a pivot foot when you land, however.

I think you can come down 1-2 as long as you hold 1 on the floor and don't slide or try to use 2 as the pivot.

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.

 

I obviously know that you can jump off the floor to shoot or pass. I was stating what you can do legally with the ball. Once the ball is released that is a little different.

. If you move your pivot foot off the floor without releasing the basketball, then its a walk. :mad:

 

Not true. I can lift my pivot foot, stand like a stork with the ball , and its not a travel UNLESS I bring my pivot foot back down while still having the ball.

The same travel rules apply to the jump stop.

 

If I have the ball with no pivot foot established and I jump from both feet (picture a standing broad jump), I can then land on one foot (now the pivot) then land with the other then lift my pivot foot without it being a travel.

 

If , however, I'm driving the lane, pick up my dribble, jump off one foot I cannot land in a 1-2 fashion. If I do, its a travel as my pivot foot would have landed with me still having possession of the ball.

 

Its a tough call because it also depends on when you pick up the ball and what happens with your feet after that.

If you lift your PIVOT foot and hold it like stork with the ball, you just travelled. Here is the definition of the pivot foot:

 

Pivot Foot:

 

A player who has possession of the ball but is not dribbling must always keep one foot on the ground. This planted foot is known as the pivot foot

 

The pivot foot is the foot that stays in place. Actually only one part of the foot, the ball of the foot, stays stationary. As you turn, the rest of the foot rotates about the ball of the foot.

 

a. The pivot foot may be lifted, but not returned to the floor, before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal;

b. If the player jumps, neither foot may be returned to the floor before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal; ...

You just contradicted your own statement:laugh:

Thank you. You just backed up what I've been saying and you completely went against your original statement. Your "A" definition completely supports my line that I can lift my pivot foot, stand like a stork without shooting or passing BECAUSE as you accurately point out in A , I have not "returned to the floor before the ball is released..."
