The standard for the defender is "torso set" (not "feet set") before the offensive guy has started his "upward motion" (not "left his feet"). A defender can move laterally or backward, but not forward, and still draw a charge (not just "stay stationary"). My interpretation of this is that after a defensive guy has established his position, he can shuffle side to side or back as long the offensive guy has not started to jump in the air. This is more likely to happen in a zone defense where a defender is holding his ground when an offensive guy decides to drive the lane. The defender is allowed to shuffle sideways or backwards so long as the offensive guy is still moving forward and not upward. espn.go.com We could also talk forever about the definition of traveling. The most common occurrence is not taking too many steps, rather, taking a step before starting the act of dribbling the ball. Kids do this all the time. - Jeff
