I have watched the Video of the new travel rules being introduced and unfortunately I'm VERY old school and would not like having to teach young kids what you can and can't do when attempting a lay up. I also think its going to be very hard on young inexperienced referees.
I hope we don't end up like the NBA and allow 4 & 5 step travels and it becomes anything goes????
Kids learn from watching
You'll find they'll emulate players that do the moves and it'll come naturally.

I'm still not a fan of the fact we cut the bottoms off the peach baskets.
Only thing I've seen is it's benefitted the spin move layup, no more travels there. If players stick to using traditional two steps then it will never be an issue.
Funniest thing I heard in a while was at reserves game and a guy took 4-5 steps and the coach was yelling "but he only took three! " That's where it needs to be watched carefully like the earlier poster said, will three suddenly become four or five.
Favourite shaqtin a fool moment is Westbrook's travel,
