Yep, Love clearly moved both feet before starting his dribble. He stepped back with the right foot rather than keeping it planted. That movement needs to be done over and over in practice until he can execute it perfectly in the heat of a game.???? You call that planted firmly on the floor?

I'm wondering if he's been doing it that way for years but the refs let it go. Fedor said there was a recent "emphasis" placed on calling traveling instead of letting it go. We saw it last night, for sure. Players will have to adjust to the stricter (finally) interpretation. I still don't know why they let players get away with the Euro step where they have the ball firmly in their grasp then take two steps before going up.
Players have gotten into the habit of catching a pass, then taking a baby hop with both feet to get them in the correct position to shoot. I've seen Garland do that. The refs have been ignoring it. We'll see if that changes.
