I have a few related questions about traveling in basketball. I get the general idea, but I am not sure about some specific cases. They all involve the pivot foot leaving the ground. The first three cases are:
- You catch the ball standing on one leg. Then you jump off that leg and land on both feet at the same time. (I understand this is not a travel, but I am asking to make sure).
- You catch the ball standing on one leg. Then you jump off that leg and land on the non-pivot foot (i.e., the other leg).
- You catch the ball standing on one leg. Then you jump off that leg and land on the pivot foot (i.e., the same leg).
My next series of questions basically asks if it matters is you touch your non-pivot foot to the ground before doing the jump.
- You catch the ball standing on one leg. You touch your other foot to the ground and raise it again. Then you jump off that leg and land on both feet at the same time.
- You catch the ball standing on one leg. You touch your other foot to the ground and raise it again. Then you jump off that leg and land on the non-pivot foot (i.e., the other leg).
- (This one is definitely a travel) You catch the ball standing on one leg. You touch your other foot to the ground and raise it again. Then you jump off that leg and land on the pivot foot (i.e., the same leg).
Which if any of these are travels? Also, does it matter if you were instead to catch the ball in the air and then land on one leg, instead of just catching the ball on one leg.
