The Finals announcers talked (a lot) about DeMya Walker's step-through move and how it's legal. The traveling rules are byzantine, and I get dizzy reading them, but I think the announcers were only half right.

Rule 10 Section XII of the WNBA Rule Book says:

c. In starting a dribble after (1) receiving the ball while standing still, or (2) coming to a legal stop, the ball must be out of the player’s hand before the pivotfoot is raised off the floor.

d. If a player, with the ball in her possession, raises her pivot foot off the floor, she must pass or shoot before her pivot foot returns to the floor. If she drops the ball while in the air, she may not be the first to touch the ball.

That means that you can't lift your pivot foot before dribbling, but you can lift it before shooting and passing. In fact, if shooting or passing, it's not a travel until your pivot foot hits the floor again. Thus, if your right foot is your pivot foot, you can take a big step and jump off the left.

So to the extent DeMya just did that, she was within the rules. But... during the Finals, she repeatedly traveled before going into the move, either by switching her pivot foot, failing to establish it properly, or sliding it.

And she wasn't the only one.
