When is the spin move a traveling violation and when is it legal? Watch and find out.

This Rule Review segment is reviewing plays involving traveling, specifically the spin move. This video is dedicated to educating basketball officials on understanding what signals to use and what signals to avoid. Watching actual videos of plays involving traveling spin moves, along with some basic instruction explaining what a spin move looks like and how to identify the pivot foot, helps officials learn faster and retain 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 the spin move is a specific traveling move that has been emphasized as a point of emphasis for the NFHS for the 2021/2022 basketball season it important we all try to get on the same page with a proper understanding of what is required to correctly identify when a traveling spin move is legal or a violation. Being able to identify when the pivot foot is established and if/when that pivot foot is lifted and returned to the floor is essential to ruling on this difficult play properly. This will be the focus our Rule Review segment. All video clips we reference in this segment on screens come from high school games and focus solely on the NFHS high school rules book.
Video #1
- A post player grabs the ball and makes a great spin move around his defender for an easy two points. But was it a legal move? Watch to see the breakdown in this first video.
Video #2
- A player drives into the lane and then spins around his opponent and shoots for 2 point. The officials waves the basket off and rules this move a traveling violation. Was the officials correct? Find out in the second video breakdown.
Video #3
- Another drive down the lane with another spin around a defender which finishes with a lay up at the basket. Can you identify if this move was legal or illegal yet?
Video #4
- One last video with one last spin move, but this time it's different. Why is this spin legal when all the others that look just like it were traveling violations? 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.

    Thanks for the vidoe. One question though - I thought the pivot foot is ONLY established if you catch the ball with both feet on the floor. The rule book doesn't care whether it's a spin move or a 0-1-2 layup. That's why most of the spin around pull ups that end up with the 'pivot' foot landing again are in fact 0-1-2 layups (basically catching the ball when they are progressing). Keen to know your thoughts on this.

    I appreciate you showing a spin move where the pivot is not returned to make it legal. But what I have never seen demonstrated is the late pick up of the ball where both feet are on are floor when the dribble is ended. This shows where either foot could be the pivot and when the player completes the move, his front is now the pivot and the back foot can come back down. I have been other official sites and if they never seen what it looks like they, officials only believe that your legal clip is the only way it can be performed legally. I have done a demonstration video on my page actually confirmed it with local HS refs. Also, the clip where you discussed whether it is a step or a jump. Do you know the difference? Doe are rule book differentiate? Some say it doesn't but I does. A jump is not based on height but by both feet leaving the floor. That is a jump. At least one foot is always on the floor during a step. You can only "lift" your foot if the other is on the floor. The jump definition come into play when a player has stopped AND a pivot is established in the rule book. "If both feet leave the floor, neither can be returned".

    Thank you for your comments. The NFHS rules book does not define a jump or a step that I have seen. If you have a reference I would love to review it. The biggest take away on traveling, of any form, if you aren't sure, don't call it. You MUST be able to identify the pivot foot at the point of holding/catching the ball and if the play happens too fast to be able to do that, no violation should be called. As far as step/jump and where the feet are, we must remember the intent and purpose of the rules and so we can intelligently apply them in each play situation. Thanks for watching and providing your feedback.

    ART. 3 . . . After coming to a stop and establishing a pivot foot: a. The pivot foot may be lifted, but not returned to the floor, before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal. b. If the player jumps, neither foot may be returned to the floor before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal. The difference between a lift and a jump. In a lift, one foot is still on the floor. A jump, is both feet odd the floor and that is why it says the neither can return. We already know by definition what a jump means. It has nothing to do with height. Both feet off the floor. There are many directions to jump. We know what a Step is. We don't need the rule book to give a definition. If your walking, you are stepping and one foot is always on the floor. The Euro "Step" has become a Euro "jump". They have allowed the athleticism to take over. I played in Europe and it had to be steps. You could not jump, both feet off the floor, with a Euro. Go find Mano Ginobli videos and watch his euro when he first came into the league. He steps, one foot always on the floor, around players...he doesn't use "jump" steps. But, the NFHS or NCAA doesn't count steps for moving players so it doesn't matter if they are stepping or jumping when moving. Only the pivot. I know it may seem splitting hairs but that is how the rules were enforced when I played and the interpretation has changed and not the rule.

    It all comes down to the pivot foot. When the player catches/holds the ball, the foot touching the floor is the pivot foot and cannot be lifted and returned. If the ball is caught/held with NO feet on the floor, the first foot to touch then becomes the pivot. Same rules apply, even though it may appear in that situation that the player gets a 1-2 step.

    Great Vid! I heard this before though and I have to disagree and argue this move is only a travel in slow motion or freeze frame. (Referencing #1) Because “establishing” a pivot foot is a discretion call. It’s been shown that players can take two slow steps without traveling as long as they don’t stop so what’s the difference? I think mere fact that the player spins makes it feel different but he never stops so that’s the equivalent of taking a slow controlled step in the opposite direction. Then he gathers (stops) and now establishes a pivot. We NEED to revisit this interpretation because it is inconsistent. THANKS!

    Not sure I completely understand the point you are trying to make, but contrary to public opinion, traveling isn’t about how many steps a player takes. If you read the rules, it says nothing about how many steps are allowed. It is solely dictated by the establishment of a pivot foot and what that foot is allowed or not allowed to do under the rules. Even on a basic two step layup, you have a pivot foot. Whether you are in continuous motion or not, the same principles apply. Just like in the spin move, it cannot be lifted and then returned to the floor prior to a pass or shot attempt. There’s nothing discretionary about it.

    What is important to know is when the pivot foot is established. It's hard to answer this scenario without that information but if the left foot is on the floor when the player catches/holds the ball, even though he is in the midst of spin, it would still be the pivot. So two step after that would be a travel.

    I've never seen any of these called travels in NBA, college, or street. The kicker is that you base everything around "when the ball is gathered" and you count the foot on the ground as pivot. However, these spins all occur in a fluid motion. When in motion the 1st real step is never counted until AFTER the last dribble. In all these clips your "so-called" pivot foot is ALREAY DOWN when the ball is last dribbled, then the gather occurs while that foot is still on the ground. If in motion and dribble occurred with that foot down, you OBVIOUSLY still have an actual STEP to take before it's your FIRST STEP after dribbling is suspended . So you cannot count that as the pivot when the player remains in fluid motion, only if he exhibited a full stop after the gather.

With that in mind, shouldn’t a player be able to utilize two steps after a pick-up. So for example in clip #1, left foot is on the ground at the pick-up and the right is not. Therefore, the right foot landing is step 1 and the left landing is step 2. Again, just asking for clarification. Im having trouble understanding clip #1.

    One play I see as similar to this but is legal is a traditional layup. For example, if a player is going for a layup on the right hand side with the right foot, left foot, right knee up, the players left foot on the ground before the pick up would be considered the pivot foot. However, this is never called a travel at any level basketball. I would argue the left foot on the ground before the pick up isn’t viewed as a pivot foot because it was there before the pick-up happened. Making the right foot, left foot, right knee up a legal 1,2 step.

    On a shot or pass attempt, the NBA allows two steps after the dribble is ended (ball is gathered). Step 1 is defined as the first foot to fall to the floor AFTER the gather. If there is a foot on the floor at the time the ball is gathered, it doesn’t count toward the players 2 allowed steps. This is often called a gather or zero step. This differs from the more traditional NCAA and NFHS rules which consider the foot on the floor at the time the ball is gathered, as the pivot foot - or step 1.

    The rules clearly state what a moving player can do after catching the ball. This move is often allowed by officials since in real time it’s hard to determine what foot/feet is touching the court when the ball is caught, but slowing it down clearly shows a traveling violation.

    On a shot or pass attempt, the NBA allows two steps after the dribble is ended (ball is gathered). Step 1 is defined as the first foot to fall to the floor AFTER the gather. If there is a foot on the floor at the time the ball is gathered, it doesn’t count toward the players 2 allowed steps. This differs from the more traditional NCAA and NFHS rules which consider the foot on the floor at the time the ball is gathered, as the pivot foot - or step 1.

    @@OfficialsInstitute That’s different to FIBA rule then. FIBA, meanwhile, has a so-called zero step. After catching the ball, the foot that first touches the ground becomes the pivot from which all other actions can proceed. The player can then start dribbling the ball or take a two-step to finish the shot, hence, creating a three-step move together with a zero step.

    Can you comment on this spin move (first move "1. Spin back")? kzread.info/dash/bejne/lK6HrLeTkpCpcag.htmlsi? At issue is where the player picks up the ball. It is difficult to see his (single) hand under the lower hemisphere of the basketball during the spin. Is the moment of "pick up" when he puts two hands on the ball or before? Appreciate the help. The second move ("2. Under scoop") the hand is clearly under the ball when the player is spinning on the right foot so that looks like a clear travel as soon as the right foot comes back to the ground before the shot. I believe the first move is probably the same,...the hand must be under the ball on the spin, I just can't see it. Thank you!

    1st and 2nd video, both moves, in real time, are too difficult to determine when he catches/holds the ball, therefore I would allow this move. I'm relatively sure if I were to slow it down it would be a travel, as it is written, but we never want to rule a play to be illegal if we are not sure. Not sure if that is helpful or not, but again, when in doubt, don't blow your whistle.

    The pivot is established when a dribbling/moving player catches the ball. NFHS 4.44.2. Nothing about the “gather.” Most layups probably are traveling by the hard fast rule, but in real time, on a layup, it’s very difficult to determine what foot, if any, are touching the floor when the player “catches/holds” the ball so most officials will make the assumption the ball was caught with neither foot touching thus allowing the “1-2 step” that has become standard in the game of basketball.

Not the leg that was on the ground when you catch the ball while moving. That is new interpretation of original rules and will bring only confusion. That is my opinion.
