Walking??

[Monte]

I believe this was in the Notre Dame game last night. A player was standing still holding the ball. Then, she lifted her left foot off
the floor, and wiped her hand across the bottom of the sneaker. Then, she did the same with the right foot. The ball did not touch
the floor. There was no call by a referee. Isn't this WALKING?

That is def a travel. But since it wasn't called, it wasn't.

Traveliiiiiiing! Lifted a pivot foot. Pick one.

Was the player inbounds or out of bounds throwing the ball in?

 

[Dugway]

I see players lift their feet and run their hand across the sole of their shoes quite often. Nika would do that a hundred times a game!

Are they drying their hands? Or is the purpose to wet the rubber sole on the shoe? Just a nervous habit? What the heck is going on here?

The point is to rub the dust off the bottom of your shoes so they grip better.

I understand your question, but a player inbounding the ball can't travel unless they are inbounding after a made FG or FT.
We need more context about when this event happened.

Exactly. But then again...traveling and palming the ball are becoming invisible acts.

 

[Monte]

The player was NOT INBOUNDING. She had just caught a pass out by the 3-ooint line!

 

[Blakeon18]

I think players often rub their hand on the bottom of their shoe to put some dirt/dust ON their hand...it
makes their ball-handling more secure than if their hand is completely smooth [slick?].

Can't travel after a made basket. They can run the base line if needed. I believe it is the same after a made free throw.

Which is what I posted and you are replying to. I'm soooo confused.

Actually, a player can’t travel after a made basket or IN ANY INBOUNDING SITUATION. It is a major misconception of a lot of fans that a player can travel during the process of inbounding the ball when there has not been a made FG or FT. In fact, during the inbounding process, a player can move backwards as far as they want, and they can move side to side, possibly by as much as 6 feet without violating any rules. And there is absolutely no prohibition at all about shuffling your feet or jumping up and down with the ball prior to inbounding.

 

[Steelerone]

Like they love to say nowadays, if they didn't see it, it didn't happen. Traveling in basketball, pass interference in football, if you look carefully it happens in just about every play.

That's a travel assuming they didn't pass or shoot after. Lol

They can move back, but they have to stay within a few feet either direction of where they were handed the ball except on a made basket or free throw. If not, that's a throwin violation and not a travel.

Then what's the point in the gestures that the official makes before handing the ball to the inbounding player? If there's a stoppage in play after a made FG or FT, they official will make a swiping motion but if the ball is inbounded after a violation, the official will point to where the player is standing.
I have seen these gestures millions of times.
Also after a made FG or FT, the inbounding player can pass to a teammate who is out of bounds on the end line but it can't be done after a violation occurred.

 

[Monte]

My original post here has completely gotten OUT OF BOUNDS! The situation took place ON THE COURT, when the ball was in play.

Yes, 100% but the game was at Notre Dame.

 

[Bone Dog]

The rule used to be the inbounder could run along the endline after a make, but not after a whistle and never along the sideline. Has the rule changed?

Did it effect the outcome?

 

[Blue Huskie]

IDK about that particular move but I saw a number of uncalled walks in that game last night. Miles had one that was ridiculous on a drive to the basket.

On an inbound pass that is not after a made FG or FT, the player must keep either of her feet within a 3-foot designated spot. However, it can be either foot and it can change during the play. So a player might move over to a point where her right foot is right on the edge of the designated area and her left foot is significantly outside of the area, and then slide over to the point where her left foot is on the other side of the designated area and her right foot is significantly outside of the area. That would allow the player to move approximately 6 feet, depending on the spacing of the feet . Also can move forward a bit and can move back all the way to the seats if she chooses. So the area that the player has to stay within can be 6 feet wide and possibly 25 or more feet from front to back, depending on how the seats are laid out.

The gesture made by the referee is merely to remind the player that they cannot run the entire width of the court, as they would be able to after a made FG or FT.

Not true.

I suggest you read the NCAA rules before making incorrect statements. What I posted is accurate, and the rules totally support what I said. It’s wise to know what you are talking about before posting.

 

[Skeets]

Rules are different there.

 

[sun]

Players often catch a pass & take a short hop with both feet & then shoot the ball & it's never called as traveling. Each time it happens they lift their pivot foot & replant it. I think that it's part of the step that a player is given before traveling is called. So what's the difference in this case other than it happened in slower motion?

 

[Skeets]

The rule used to be the inbounder could run along the endline after a make, but not after a whistle and never along the sideline. Has the rule changed?

I don't believe anything has changed. A visual rule of thumb is if the ref points to a spot and hands the ball to the inbounder then movement is restricted (as noted elsewhere in this thread). After a "make" the ref might toss the ball to the inbounder, but not hand the ball. In addition to pointing to a spot to inbound, other gestures by the ref are usually instructions to the defender on how much room to give the inbounder.

To another post on "palming", I think I've since that called once in the last 10 years. When I was in high school it was a very big thing. How the game has changed.

On palming, I seem to recall Nika getting whistled for a palm once.

What I mainly remember was how growing up all the kids in my neighborhood idolized Earl Monroe. We’d spend hours shooting hoops in our driveways trying to imitate the way he palmed the ball on a signature spin move.

What? "... know what you are saying before posting" Come on. That would remove about 80% of the dialogue on the Boneyard. Facts are only facts. Much more lively to make intelligent sounding statements based on innuendo, wild rumor and worn, inaccurate theory. Its a sure bet to wake up the Boneyard and get those b-ball juices flowing. ))
