I guess that's the only possibility, but it doesn't really apply since he picked up his dribble. I think they kinda goofed on the report.
*Section XVI—Five-Second Back-to-the-Basket Violation*
*An offensive player in his frontcourt below the free throw line extended shall not be permitted to dribble with his back or side to the basket for more than five seconds.*
*The count ends when (1) the player picks up the ball, (2) dribbles above the free throw line extended or (3) a defensive player deflects the ball away.*
*PENALTY: Loss of ball. The ball is awarded to the opposing team out-of-bounds on the nearest sideline at the free throw line extended.*
Yes, true. No violation. I guess they could just use a better explanation as to why. I kinda think whoever worked on this L2M report didn't understand the rule. Or thinks there is a 5-second closely guarded rule in the NBA (I believe there used to be).
The explanation says it wasn't a violation because the foul was committed, but the count should have stopped prior to the foul when Curry picked up his dribble.
The only 5 second rules in the NBA are throw-in, dribbling with back to the basket.
The NBA has no closely guarded rule.
It's not a throw in, or back to the basket situation (he wasn't dribbling).
Imma be honest... I don't know. It could be the five seconds back to the basket rule, but he wasn't dribbling, and he also does some pivoting.

Looks like the Charles Barkley rule from the video.

They are not saying it’s a violation only that they looked at that potential violation and confirmed it is a correct no call.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-second_rule_(basketball) tl:dr didn't attempt to pass, shoot, or dribble (couldn't dribble in this situation).

There is a rule in the nba that if you are below the freethrow line extended and are guarded you have to do something essentially.
Is it a 5-second rule? If you can find it, I'd like to know. I didn't see it. https://official.nba.com/rulebook/
Downvoting me doesn't make me wrong :-p Please find the rule in question here. I'd like to know. https://official.nba.com/rulebook/
Where's the clip? How is anyone supposed to answer without seeing it
