Who went through an explanation of the pivot foot? CBS analysts? I think the hop step is a troubling part of the game and, after having gone through referee certification, I still do not feel like it was ever adequately explained to me. The hop step has become fairly commonplace and you just don't call it a travel unless one of those feet move after they have "simultaneously" landed on the floor. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: JoDete93 's message, "I agreed with the call at first, disagreed later, but then yesterday they went through a brief explanation of the pivot foot and talk of how Ray's left foot actually landed before the shot which made me turn back to agreeing with the call. Tough, but correct call. As for this notion that you can simultaneously land and take off from both feet, I contest that such an act is impossible. In my book the hop step is always a travel." on Mon March 28, 2005 10:02:02

The guys in the studio went over the call and mentioned having spoken with the head of officials who offered an explanation similar to the one you provided. (NT) -- J�Dete93, Mon March 28, 2005 10:21:54
