The players, coaches, fans, administrators and the overwhelming majority of officials are okay with it.
There are other violations we should get better at calling though, particularly the travels at the beginning of a dribble drive.

Like I have said before, we are awful as officials in calling travels. We either call the ones that are not there but not understanding the rule (like a Jump Stop) or we totally ignore moves like spins or even the move before the dribble drive where clearly there are travels.
I posted this play because we seem to miss an obvious travel but then penalize the defensive team again by calling a foul. I can certainly see a coach being very upset by that situation.
