I have a basketball question about the up and under move.
When conducting the up and under move from the post, is it mandatory to dribble the basketball when stepping through, and jumping off non-pivot foot while pivot foot is lifted in completing the shot or pass?

Traveling Rule Pertaining To Up and Under Move
Up and Under Move - is this a travel? by: Anonymous
This is a GREAT question and a common basketball situation that seems to be called inconsistently.
On the Up and Under Move
After the front pivot and shot fake, the step to the basket MUST be accompanied by a dribble if you pick up your pivot foot to finish off one foot. No dribble - this is a travel.
Now, if you forward pivot and shot fake, then step to the basket and leave the floor with BOTH feet together, this is OK - NO travel.
Now, Robert Parish would NOT agree with this, he made a living off the first scenario and it was never called traveling.
THANKS for a great website Coach Waters!

Here are some basketball tips for performing the up and under move...
1. Make a shot fake (up) to get the defender up in the air.
2. Pivot and then dip under and make a one-bounce power dribble to the hoop.
*Note* If you are positioned low at the block, you won't need the dribble. Rather, just fake, pivot, dip under and go right up with the shot.
*Note* Always protect the basketball with your body.
