Are any of these traveling violations based on NFHS rules?

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.

c. The pivot foot may not be lifted before the ball is released, to start a dribble.

You're incorrect. Don't worry: I can help you understand the rule. Here's a copy & paste of NFHS Rule 4, Section 44, Article 3:

The bullet that deals with the plays in this video is bullet (c) : "may not be lifted to start a dribble".

The aspect in your example is dealt with bullets (a) and (b) : "pass or try for goal".

This is essentially saying that a dribble is treated differently than a pass or a shot, which is probably why you were confused.

@JugglingReferee Yet wrong again. Do you know what a travel is? YOU CAN LIFT YOUR PIVOT FOOT. THE BALL NEEDS TO BE RELEASED BEFORE YOUR PIVOT FOOT GOES BACK DOWN. Imagine a lay up without being able to lift your pivot. It would be a travel every time according to your definition of a travel.

And remember: anytime you have two feet on the floor, and both move to a new spot on the floor, it is a travel if you never lost control of the ball, and you then start a dribble.

Here is a great video to help teach you: w w w . v i m e o . c o m / 3 9 5 6 5 3

Although it is based on FIBA (international) rules, it does apply to NFHS situations because the rules are the same.

I hope tht helps.

Play 3: Blue 11 receives the pass with the left feet on the floor. This establishes the left foot as the pivot foot. He then shuffles his right foot forward a bit for a better position. (This confirms the left foot as the pivot foot.) This is customary for right-handed players. Then, before he moves towards the endline, he shuffles his left foot to a new spot on the floor. Travel.

Again, in order to avoid the travel violation, he needed to start the dribble BEFORE the pivot (left) foot was lifted from the floor. He didn't do that, therefore it's a travel.

Play 2: Blue 51 receives the pass with both feet on the floor. This allows him to pick which foot will be the pivot when. He chooses the left foot when he lifts the right foot off of the floor at 0:51. Pause the video at 0:52 and you will see that the left foot has now been lifted off the floor, but the ball is still in his hands, not yet released for the dribble.

Play 1 continued: The rule states that during a dribble, the ball must be released to the floor BEFORE the pivot foot is lifted off of the ground. The dribbler did not do that. Therefore, travel.

Play 1: When White 14 receives the pass, he continues to move his right foot to a new spot on the floor. This establishes the left foot as the pivot foot. This happens from 0:24-0:26 in the video. From 0:26-0:27 you can see the left foot enter the frame onto a spot that was not seen before because it was previously blocked the head of the spectator with glasses and a grey shirt. Only at 0:27 does the dribbler release the ball.
