Is a jump stop a traveling violation or not? What about the step back? Let's break it down and see.
This is Rule Review covering plays involving traveling, specifically talking about the jump stop and step back move. This video is dedicated to educating basketball officials on recognizing how to identify the jump stop and step back properly. Watching actual videos of plays involving traveling, along with some basic instruction explaining each rule, helps officials learn faster and retain rule information better. We can all learn together by continually discussing the rules as they are written in the NFHS rules book and viewing actual high school basketball games reinforces that learning.
Because traveling can be a complicated concept it is often misunderstood, especially when it comes to the jump stop and step back. Instead of guessing on traveling plays and grouping all similar looking plays into the same category, it is important we, as officials, understand all the components that go into what makes a jump stop move legal or not. Was the player moving or dribbling? At what point did they stop and hold the ball? This is what we will be reviewing in this segment of Rule Review. All video clips we reference in this segment on traveling come from high school games and focus solely on the NFHS high school rules book.
Video #1
- A drive to the basket made by a dribbling player who jumps high into the air with the ball and comes back to the floor before shooting. This play was allowed to continue by the officials. Watch to find out why.
Video #2
- Another move down the lane with a jump stop performed by the player. This play looks the same as the first, but it is NOT. Should this have been a traveling violation?
Video #3
- A jump stop play was called a traveling violation but when did the player catch and hold the ball? This is important to know to determine pivot status.
Video #4
- A step back move was correctly made by this player but how do we know? When you break down a step back move, it is simply a jump stop, backwards.
Video #5
- Another step back but this one was called a traveling violation. Were they different or was the officials incorrect? Watch to find out.
Watching video clips is a good way to stay connected to the skill of officiating basketball but true education and learning can more effectively be attained when each video is annotated with diagrams and shading to point out key teaching points.
The Officials Institute, and the Rule Review segment, creates videos that don't leave you guessing about whether there was a foul, violation or not. Even though we cannot officiate in slow motion or freeze frames, by watching and reviewing video video in this fashion, we are able to "retrain our brain" so we can start seeing plays more accurately when we do see them in real time and increase our ability to get the call right.

Not mentioned in the video, but catching the ball airbourne can be applied to the step back as well. If you catch it mid air after taking that step back, you can land un-simultaneously. Or if you caught it airbourne after the step back and landed simultaneously, you could still establish a pivot foot afterwards. For lower levels of ball, just be prepared to get called for travels since some of these refs be old schooled still and not know the difference.
u can establish a pivot after a hop step what's this guy talking about
Knowing the rules by the letter is one thing, but catching all the movements at game speed will need eagle eyes. Officiating is an under appreciated part of the game.
he catches and dribbles before jump stop! Not an airborne catch!
So, million dollar question, how the hell do you guys watch the feet for travelling and also watch the upper body for fouls?
People don't know how to do it right
After you jump stop, you cannot pivot anymore.
I don't agree I'm afraid. Where you say he caught ball is wrong, he catches it in the semi circle outside the key not inside the key like you should. I think it was a travel - sorry
Yes, they both are violations.
Please!! The second situation is legal, he took zero step and then bunny hop is 1, he can take 1 more step before shooting, just check the rule again

Extremely helpful. The NFHS KZread video and printed guideline did not mention the AIRBORNE CATCH which has been creating a huge amount of confusion in my locality! It only made sense that jabs and pivots after an airborne catch are LEGAL since no pivot foot has been established!
Beautiful explanation 👌
Thank you!
good video....never thought of equating a step back with a jump stop, but will from now on....
Very helpful
Thank you
Thanks for posting this. This play gets a lot of discussion on internet forums. The third play is where it gets tricky. Having to judge where the feet are in real time when the dribble ends is the cause of much of the controversy about this play. The difference between your second and third example illustrates this. In play two, the dribble ends with the jump foot on the floor, while play three has both feet in the air as you showed. In real time, it's not fair to have officials forced to parse judgement like this. Because of this, I call this play a violation. If a coach complains, "Coach, in my judgement, the dribble ended with the foot on the floor." Calling this play differently each time causes inconsistency, which I find coaches despise the most. The other factors with this play is that it is legal in the NBA, where players see it on TV, and FIBA. Whereas it's illegal in NCAA and NFHS. In NCAA games, it's especially inconsistently called. At the NFHS level at least, I wish that the blanket interpretation from that organization would be to consider it a travel in all cases. The players would adjust and the play would be called consistently.
Thank you so much!! Everyone is doing the James Harden step back, not knowing that the NBA has adjusted the rules (as a business) to conform to this trend. I herd that college is about to legalize the harden step back too. Originally the backwards hop step jump shot..was done at mid range. It's hard to execute that from 3 point range. So the lazy way has now been found.
Great Job The #1 Key Is To KNOW the PIVOT FOOT & When The Player Catches The Ball ! Tom 50th Year Reffing 😊
