    it just comes down to understanding a LIVE dribble and when it comes to an end. Many people make the misconception of thinking that a live dribble ends after one bounce of the basketball and two steps. Fact of the matter is there is no limit to how many steps the ball handler can take while the dribble is LIVE. A LIVE dribble comes to an end when the ball comes to a rest in one hand or the ball is grabbed by both hands. The ball handler is allowed to gather the ball when this occurs. Once you get a good understanding of that all of these moves make legal sense. When explaining this to people after they get it most of them tell me it's because they couldn't find the right words. Most people make the mistake of simply going directly to explaining a GATHER step without explaining what a LIVE DRIBBLE is and when it comes to an end ...[WHEN YOU GATHER IT] Coach....at 3:27 when you did your lay up and the ref said it may come into question it's because you were doing it so slowly that the ball came to a rest in your hand thereby terminating your dribble ... THAT'S why he said that was tricky. When you did it faster it was clean because the ball did not appear to come to a rest in your hand. So YES....speed does matter because if you're GATHERING too slowly in one hand and it comes to a rest then your dribble ended at that point and your two steps began .

    That's where it gets tricky. The very best at it prolong the final contact with the ball by quite a bit by almost palming (and sometimes blatantly palming) the ball and slowing it down very deliberately and delaying the contact with the 2nd hand to the maximum. It's very hard to spot because these guys have giant hands and excellent technique.

    Thanks for a great video coach! At 3:14, the rest of the guys are actually correct that it's indeed a travel - you just passed over the border into taking TWO gather steps. Look closely where your hand is on the ball on the very first step that you claim is before your gather step. It's underneath the ball - so effectively that means you already started your gather step. After that you take three steps. This is what raises true concern in a lot of comment sections, cause it's happening all over the league - one gather step is legal, but ever so slightly players have snuck in more and more of a pre-gather, making it a travel if you follow the rule book. You don't make the same move at 3:27, there the hand stays above the ball until you make your gather step. Obviously, one can make the argument that you held your hand beneath the basketball for demonstration purposes, to be able to move slowly. In that case, I rest my case :) But that's really what's happening in the NBA, so it's still very valid to argue against that move.

    This comment should absolutely be pinned. And this is exactly why "horizontal hang" is more contentious than "vertical hang" (like in the case of a windmill). Because horizontal hang can easily be a carry when the hand is close to 90 degrees. Even more contentious is when the first step occurs *at the exact same time* as both hands touch the ball (this happens a lot in NBA). Some consider this step 0, others step 1. But NBA rules state step 1 occurs AFTER gaining control of the ball. The problem is when it occurs simultaneously, technically it's not AFTER. And so I think most NBA refs' calls are indeed correct when they count the "simultaneous step" as step 0.

    Also have to consider the fact that NBA players have large hands and are able to control the ball and continue their dribble without getting called for a carry. Most people cannot keep their dribble live in a "fake" gather without carrying the ball. Also another question that I have is that you don't necessarily need to have two hands on the ball to gather.

    What made this confusing is because prior to this era of basketball with players like James Harden, etc. this move would have been called a travel. There was no such thing as a gather step then and if there was, refs even ignored it. You pick your dribble then you're just allowed 2 steps to take a shot or pass the ball, that's it. So please, someone from FIBA, the NBA or whatever tell us when this "gather step" rule started. I remember when Manu Ginobili got to the NBA and started doing his "euro step", some fans thought it was a travel also but it was clearly not based on the 2-step rule. Then James Harden came along and suddenly we now have this "gather step" rule....

    hi coach nick awesome content in videos. first id like to say that i totally agree with you on your demonstration or how the gather is used especially in nba. i have a question i hope you can understand and either answer or make a video on a gather step scenario... my question is, does the gather step have to be on the ground or does it still count as a gather if receiving the ball mid air. let me break it down (1) receiving a pass in transition to a lay up, player is running has first step in contact with the ground (gather step) as he catches the ball continues on to step 1 and 2 lay up no problem lots of videos on that.. (2) receiving a pass in transition for lay up, player hops before receiving the ball catches ball mid air lands is that still a gather step continue on to step 1 and 2 shoot.? essentially landing taking 3 clear steps is this allowed cant seem to find a video or player doing this but definitely a possible option. i interpreted a gather step meant to be gather the ball on contact with the ground not catching a pass mid air. but my ref trainer says the rule is a player on the move is allowed a (0) step/gather step followed by steps 1 and 2. which would make both scenarios legal. confused please help!!!!

    In the NBA and FIBA, you are also given a "gather step". When a player has taken more than 3 steps without the ball being dribbled, a traveling violation is called. The rule was 2 steps before 2018, but The International Basketball Federation, also known as FIBA changed the rule.

    You're supposed to jump off both feet at the same time on the last two steps. Every level I've played at has called it a travel if they are two independent steps.

    Good stuff on the gather. Two points of emphasis missed: It has to be a gather-one-two step. No left-left-right, or right-right-left, that's not normal motion, and thus a travel. (so take care on that stepback, if you hop into it, either hop with the proper foot early, or be exactly on time. If you have a rhythm of hopping but hopping left-right-up out of a left foot stepback, that's a travel) Second, the moment the hand is under the ball, the ball is gathered. So the windmill-gather starts when the hand carries the ball up, not so much when the ball is touched by both hands.

Saying that the cadence needs to always be alternating feet down only. So euro-step is cool, but triple jump is not? I’ve seen one play were Steph Curry came really close to using the triple-jump cadence and it was extremely effective at getting past his man, but looked really close to a travel. Watching in slow-mo you could tell he was just changing the cadence of his feet while utilizing the gather. Thanks for the great content!

Something doesn't automatically become true because that's "how it used to be" or "how it's always been". If the only reason you wanna insist that these moves are travels is because you weren't seeing them before, then you're just delusional. These are innovations in footwork and scoring and you oldheads refuse to appreciate it because you haven't seen this type of stuff before. clowns lmao

    Gather step is not that hard to understand. it’s just a stupid rule. that’s why nowhere else in the world allows it. It’s an intentionally vague rule to allow players more freedom with their steps in any given situation where they are dribbling or catching the ball. this rule in combination with the defensive 3-sec and no handchecking is why Luka said it’s eaiser to score in the US. Defense wasn’t killed by 3 pointers it was killed by the rules being written for ratings instead of honest basketball.

If the shot missed, The opponent gets their defensive rebound and the ball pocession ends. compared to a shot taken with maximum number of bigs go for the rebound and possible second chance opportunity .

    This is a bunch of mental gymnastics around the fact that it is traveling and adding terminology like the "gather step" is just an equivalent to the reality of a third step. All of the discussion around the "steps not looking like a travel when its in motion" is not valid because traveling is not dependent on how fast you are moving just if you pick up and put down your established pivot foot before passing or shooting.

    now you have to do the hop step/jump stop dissection....from my interpretation of the rules, upon ending the dribble, if you go immediately into the hop step, you can pivot on either of the two feet (and then tecnically do the mchale stepthru), otherwise if you take a step before doing a hop step, both feet must land at the same time and jump up at the same time (but in actuality with a hard look at the rules, you technically can lift one of the feet, but it just can't touch the ground again before a pass or shot)

    What if I dribble, step. Then while the ball is still "live" step gather then 1, 2. I do it sometimes on a hop step. I dribble take a step, still have the ball in one hand take a step forward and drag the ball with one hand (still live can dribble straight after this step) then as I land gather on one foot, step back land on 2 and shoot. So basically gather step, 1, 2 although an additional step before where the ball is still live

    Had a whole argument on Twitter the other day because someone said you're not allowed to take 2 steps laterally after the gather step, which would make stepbacks and sidesteps illegal. He also said you're only allowed 1 step after the gather, which is also straight wrong, because that would then make a lot of euro steps illegal. The argument was about a move someone did that was very similar to what Devin did at 7:10, except the guy in the Twitter video put the ball behind his back to switch hands and then shot the 3. It was a behind-the-back gather step into a 3.

    I think they allowed the gather step for more rhythm, fluidity of movement and for the consistency of calls. If they would remove the gather step completely 90% players would be called travel. It just happens that some players are more creative and somehow finding ways exploiting that rule, not violating it.

    Quote from NBA Rulebook. You're allowed 2 steps upon completion of a dribble, so if you dribble while pushing off of one foot it is not counted toward one of your 2 allowed steps. Conclusion: This occurrence is more commonly referred to as taking "two-and-a-halfsteps", where the half step is the "gather step".

    So as I understand it, if you step then gather, that step doesn't count in your two steps (since it's the gather step). But the moment you gather, any step after counts in your two steps. So, since speed shouldn't matter, you can step, gather, pump fake a floater on one leg, then take two steps. Heck, after the pump fake, you could even chain it into an up and under. Please correct me if I'm wrong, since I'm tired of getting called for travels in pickup games when I do this, and I need to know if the move is actually legal or not.
