Sure, here you go. Call me with questions. This whole "college basketball is real basketball" is the dumbest ever.
Section XIV-Traveling
a. A player who receives the ball while standing still may pivot, using either foot as the pivot foot.
b. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may use a two-count rhythm in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball.
The first count occurs:
(1) As he receives the ball, if either foot is touching the floor at the time he receives it.
(2) As the foot touches the floor, or as both feet touch the floor simultane- ously after he receives the ball, if both feet are off the floor when he receives it.
The second occurs:
(1) After the count of one when either foot touches the floor, or both feet touch the floor simultaneously.
c. A player who comes to a stop on the count of one may pivot, using either foot as the pivot foot.
d. A player who comes to a stop on the count of two, with one foot in advance of the other, may pivot using only the rear foot as the pivot foot.
e. A player who comes to a stop on the count of two, with neither foot in advance of the other, may use either foot as the pivot foot.
f. In starting a dribble after (1) receiving the ball while standing still, or (2) coming to a legal stop, the ball must be out of the player's hand before the pivot foot is raised off the floor.
g. If a player, with the ball in his possession, raises his pivot foot off the floor, he must pass or shoot before his pivot foot returns to the floor. If he drops the ball while in the air, he may not be the first to touch the ball.
h. A player who falls to the floor while holding the ball, or while coming to a stop, may not gain an advantage by sliding.
i. A player who attempts a field goal may not be the first to touch the ball if it fails to touch the backboard, basket ring or another player.
PENALTY: Loss of ball. The ball is awarded to the opposing team at the sideline, nearest spot of the violation but no nearer the baseline than the foul line extended.

FYI, Chuck Klosterman had an interesting column about the rule a few years back.

You can make the argument it's unfair to a team to have go the whole length of the court with, lets say under 3 seconds to go. If a team scores with a couple seconds left it effectively ends the game prematurely. It's a horrible argument but hey, you can make it.

No idiot. It's a "that rule sucks" thread. Which it does. The game was great. The rule is idiotic.

No moron. In both scenarios the ball is advanced with no time passing simply by calling a timeout. I am not "crying" because the Heat won. I have said it for years that the rule is idiotic and I am simply restating that. There is no other call like it in any sport. If you call a timeout at any other time, then you don't advance the ball. So please enlighten me since you are so wise and give me one good basketball related argument as to why it makes sense.

As I said in my other post, it provides a more exciting end-of-game scenario. The long NBA season gets boring. The advancing rule provides more drama and buzzer-beaters are anything but boring.
Whether it makes sense or not doesn't matter.

Couldn't disagree more with you.......I can hardly watch the NBA (besides the playoffs) conversely, I could watch college any time......the college game is way better as a spectator than NBA ......anyday of the week

Only time I can watch college basketball is when UCONN plays. I can skip all the blown layups and average at best overall talent.

Ya I hear ya,
The only time I can watch the NBA is during the 4th quarter of a playoff game. I can skip the free lanes to the rim, the over abundance of rules, and general tediousness of the NBA
The one thing I dont like is the pace of the NBA games near the end, I get teams need to call timeouts and officials need to review plays to make sure they get the call right, but it shouldnt take 1-2 minutes to make a call and then another minute to hand the ball off to a player on an inbounds play. Jeff Vangundy was right on when he was mentioning how ridiculous it was for the officials to review an obvious play. The NHL does it right the officials just make the call and then boom play on.
