been watching college and NBA and can't get a handle exactly what is ok what is a violation stateside.
Seems like you can shot fake and take a step and if you cant release it is ok to start your dribble ? perimeter players do this all the time.
Watch Cal v UCLA and cal tall with a post move dribbled, stepped into his shot, shot faked and then step through to score ????

Try to take five steps or less and you'll be fine in America

In the US they've always had a much more lenient view of travelling from the NBA down. It's always seemed to be don't let something like that get in the way of a spectacular play which along with all the iso ball and superstar calls guys like Kobe and Iverson used to get just put me off the NBA in general.
FIBA ball has always been about the rules first spectacular play second and the game is better for it.
Since 9/11 it is much harder to travel in the USA.
Since Trump, it is much harder to travel in the USA if you are Latino.

how would the refs know if you are Latino ? Most refs don't even know the names of players.
Def need your passport. Getting in the USA is hard work especially with filling out your ESTA.
Getting out is child's play. They hardly glanced at my passport.
Make sure you have your ticket and baggage stub. They cross check these with your bags before exiting the terminal.
Now. Back to basketball.
Cats/Adelaide final. If my geography is accurate. No USA travel. Neither do you need your passport. Unless you don't have any other forms of ID.

Oh, so this is not about how to watch yourself when going abroad with a US passport?

US seems to give unlimited steps in the "gather" motion, then the 2 steps kicks in. And if you are holding the ball on the perimeter feel free to not even bother with a pivot foot.

It's probably easier to judge when a player takes more than two steps then it is to judge an AFL player running a distance of 15 metres or whatever the rule is.

They birthed the sport maybe they have it right..So the UK gets to dictate the worldwide rules for Soccer, all forms of Rugby, Cricket, Tennis, and Golf.

Wow. Can that be anything other than "I'm a superstar so rules don't apply to me" ??

I remember Lanard Copeland doing something very similar in Perth once. Only two or three steps, though, and it wasn't called.
