Can someone (maybe a referee out there) explain why they have stopped calling traveling on deadball inbounds plays. You see it three or four times a game - a player trying to throw the ball in why he is dancing all around.
Is it not a violation to move your feet in an inbounds play anymore?

No, it's not! A player can go back as far as he/she wants. Also can step in either direction, left or right. They are not in concrete, can move some.theplainsbulldog wrote:Can someone (maybe a referee out there) explain why they have stopped calling traveling on deadball inbounds plays.

Re: Traveling on dead ball inbounds play
There is not a violation for travelling if the ball is not on the playing floor (inbounds).
The official should relay to the player that they are playing from a spot: the spot is usually considered 3 feet wide although it is not specified by rule. The player who is inbounding the ball can do the icky shuffle within that spot and there is not a violation.
The restriction on the inbounder is to release the ball onto the court of play within the five seconds allotted and to not run the baseline as they can after a made field goal or made free throw.

Thank you, very nice explanation!
