Is Sam B. guilty of taking steps before she shoots her long jump shots?


Good eye! Yes, after reviewing that practice video

where she takes the "just for fun" long jump shots, I would agree that, at least on the last 2 of the 3, she moves her left (as well as her right). Plus, the first practice three shown in this video (about 40 seconds in) appears to be a travel. The good news is that I went back to review game footage and, even on her long threes, she doesn't come close to a travel.


Fudd did the same thing

also noticed a couple of players from Oregon and MSU did the same thing only in games and it was not called.


I think you are right

When they receive a pass both players seem to take a two-step hop prior to setting their feet for a jump shot. I may be wrong but I think that was called on an Oregon player but there was more than one occasion when it was not called.

Nurse does the “hop” on her 3 point shots too

It doesn’t seem to be called often in women’s b-ball. I assume it came about when they were younger girls and needed the impetus to get the ball to the hoop on longer shots
