Proposal 38: Section 15B.5.6; Clarification about pivot [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: 15. BasketballSubmitted on 2025-05-09
Status: Review from May 09, 2025 to May 17, 2025
Background
The section about pivot needs clarification.
Proposal
Change from
15B.5.6 Idling, Twisting and Hopping
Idling is equivalent to the pivot foot and therefore is allowed. Twisting, where the pedals stay at the same height, the tire stays in contact with the oor, and the rider moves the unicycle left and right is also considered a pivot foot, and therefore allowed. The player must also stay within a half-meter radius from the point where the idling or twisting started. A player may not hop (jump up and down repeatedly with the unicycle) while holding the ball. Hopping while dribbling is permitted.

15B.5.6 Idling, Twisting and Hopping While Holding the Ball
Idling is equivalent to the pivot foot and therefore is allowed. Twisting, where the wheel is not rolling, the tire stays in contact with the fl oor, and the rider turns the unicycle left and right is also considered a pivot, and therefore allowed. The player may alternate between stand still, twisting and idling, with the restriction that only a single continuous period of idling is allowed. The player must also stay within a half-meter radius from the point where the idling started. A player may not hop (jump with the unicycle) while holding the ball, unless the ball is released from the hand(s) before the tire touches back the floor. Hopping while dribbling is permitted.
Body
An overall clarification of the section, especially concerning idling and hopping.
