What is “traveling” in basketball?
Traveling is a violation that can only be called against an offensive player. An offensive player in possession of the ball cannot move without dribbling, or else he or she is said to have “traveled.” A player is allowed a “pivot-foot”, meaning that he or she can move one foot in any direction, but must keep the other stationary. Once a player has established a “pivot-foot,” he or she must keep that foot stationary, or dribble. A traveling violation results in a turnover.
