Fire video. More tips for smaller guards being physical to would be super helpful.

I didnt know what it was called but this is exactly how I play. Thank you for the knowledge 😎

Nice video

Great stuff! Quality material . However I think you should nuance/explain/emphasize about that step/jump you take at 1:41. 4:02. PersonnalIy have 2 concerns with that jump. 1- You can no longer reverse pivot like you show. 2- It's a travel. As soon as you pivot leave the ground it's no longer a pivot step (which is defined by keeping the feet on the ground). So yeah you can shoot or pass but you can land another step (unless it was already on the floor). A small jump like in 1:41 probably won't get call in a game. Looks somewhat like a natural step So i'm curious you sure that's legal? Or you think i usually won't get call? I don't want to play againts kid who take a large jump from their pivot foot stick a 1 leg landing and take a fade away jump shot. I'm not a ref but I feel like every hooper should be a guardian of the game.

Thank you boss . Not all the way understanding but taking a drill on your inside foot then landing on two (jump stop) is not a travel on any level. Picking the ball up in the air then landing on two feet is legal.

​@@marcushodges I agree! that is not what I meant. I share with you specific 2 specific time in your video which share the same jump from the pivot foot. 1:41 and 4:02 You actually got a slo-mo 1:45. (again that one looks natural). and4:02 might actually be more 4:03, 4:04. I appreciate you take the time to try to understand my comments. I think you're an amazing coach.

@@Talisk3r it's not a travel. that step through can be as long a step as you can physically execute. it's exactly like the 2nd step of a 1-2 layup as far as the rules are concerned. agreed, marcus is an amazing coach. btw when you say "I don't want to play againts kid who take a large jump from their pivot foot stick a 1 leg landing and take a fade away jump shot." what's wrong with that? it's legal, and it's a very tough shot. if you force your guy to settle for that kinda shot, and you get a decent contest, you're doing your job as a defender.

​@@guesswhomofo My point's is preciselly that it's not legal. That is what's wrong with it. I'll assume my description do not convey the action I have in mind properly and that is why you don't see the travel in it. Let's try another one ;-) Imagine a player that gets trap in a full court press. His trap in the conner just after entering half court. He pick up his dribble. He try to pivot himself out the 2 defender that are on him to pass the ball. Does not succeed. Suddenly he jump from all his might from his pivot foot between the 2 defender land on the other foot. Then, still on one foot, succeed to pass the ball. You are the ref. Do you whistle? But I disgress far from the excellent technique that @marcushodge is showing. I just look back at the video. If I was the ref, at real speed, I would probably not call it. Because he is doing a great job of going just a litlle farther then a pivot step. It's a small jump. He is pushing hard on his back leg. The movement is smooth and natural. Just like someone with great handle keep is hand on the side of the ball and keeps movements smooth. But very seldomly, he goes a little under it. He tip toeing the rules. This is actually a very good analogy to what I was going for with my remark. On most handles video on youtube the presenter remind people who are less familiar that your hand should never go under the ball during a dribble, otherwise it could be called as a carry. I believe that the same kind of reminder applies with the step trought. You should explain that's it's a pivot step and therefore the pivot foot remain in contact with the floor when you step though. It's the rule. You can bend it a little but don't be surprise if it's get call if you push it.

@@Talisk3r i understood your initial example. this example is also legal. not a travel. the rules don't care how long of a step you take. again, think about a layup. step 1 of a layup is your pivot foot. then you jump off your pivot foot, sometimes as exaggeratedly long a step/jump as you're describing in your examples (such as in a euro step) and then you jump again off that non-pivot foot to shoot or pass. in the eyes of the rules, there's absolutely no difference between this type of layup and the scenarios you've described. the rules of traveling don't take into account intent, length of your steps, how long you wait between those steps, what you ate for breakfast, or anything else. there's no room for interpretation; they're black and white. there are other rules that are less black and white, such as officiating contact between an offensive & defensive player, but that's a whole different conversation. that being said, judgement calls do have to be made for traveling calls in real life because refs can't slow footage down in real time, and it's impossible to know for sure when a gather happens and whatnot. but this doesn't apply when we're talking about theory here.
