Oof. Hawk fans gonna be on suicide watch

Why do you think pivoting on your heel is a travel?

Because your whole foot moves. When you pivot 180 degrees, no part of your foot is over the same part where your foot was. Pivoting is allowed on the balls of your feet. When you do that, your foot just turns and most of your foot is over the top of your old foot print.

Had a teammate, who our coach had to bench since he got called for travels in consecutive games many times for it. Spent a week working on his pivoting to stop the travels.

All of the hawk fans I know had gone all in on the women's team after the men lost. Most had this illusion (probably from hawk media) that they had a clear path to the Final 4 for some reason.

And that's why they come up with every excuse in the books after those hopes get dashed. They can't stand it. They so badly want to rub it in every one's faces about the success they had, because they think their teams are so much better than everyone else's. Yet, their teams never reach that mountain top. Instead, they crash and burn.

What is traveling anymore? I see guys catch the ball, hop on two feet, and then shoot. They are basically jumping up and down before they shoot. Never called for traveling.

Hawk fans: "There were 4 fouls in that one play alone."

Book it.

Both Iowa State men's and women's could very well lose today. Nobody expected the men to be playing in the NCAA, let alone win a game in the tourney, going into the season. Win or lose, the program's turnaround in just one year was nothing short of amazing.

If the women lose, it will be disappointing, but they too had a pretty darn good year.

I think ISU goes 1-1 today. We shall see.

Definitely some offensive fouls. Their center basically drops her shoulder in to create space.

Ha HA Saw a number of hoks all decked out in their crap in Hy-Vee this morning. Wondered what was going on, then realized the women still had to play. Does my heart good to know that they are all drowning in sorrow now.:)

Also saw some Cyclones in their gear there and gave each one a thumbs up.

Maybe they were Hok wrestling fans?

I officiated high school basketball for a decade and can tell you that is not in the rule book. If your teammate was getting called for traveling, it was not for that reason.

So you can walk according to the rule book?

do u think she establishes one heel as the point of contact & switches to the other? It is possible to establish ur heel as the point of contact & pivot on that point, ur at a disadvantage cuz there’s less balance. Any ref calling travel on that is just being a stickler cuz they hate the improper technique.

It'd be awful hard to do it consistently because of those balance reasons.

Yeah the thing about pivoting on your heal is that it's more likely you'll move your foot from its original location than on the ball of your foot, but as far as I've ever seen its not a violation solely because the heal is what is being pivoted on.

If you are coordinated enough to pivot on your heel, that is just fine. You can't pivot on your heel then toe or vice versa. But if you pivot on your heel and just your heel, that is not a walk

With shoes on, there is no way to pivot on your heal. Your foot is either flat or you have to lift your foot up so only the very edge of your shoe touches, that creates a walk. It is physically impossible to pivot on your heel (maybe you can do a couple degrees but that is it) with shoes on. That is why it is a walk.

The networks graphic guys are also pissed about the TOE debacle too. They were pumping ChickenWing Clark hard and now they have to find another tournament darling.

No, as she spins, she pivots on the edge of her heel (only physical way to do it) and spins. That completely displaces her over.
