This play is never called in any games that I see, mainly underclass, even though it is pretty well determined it is a travel almost 100% of the time.

If you look at the comments I made in this thread, my position is rather clear what I think of this play.
And I cannot speak for what assignors in every situation want. I know what I am calling and I would rather call this a travel, then ignore and award the player with a foul which often happens around the basket. This was not even a good spin move either that might be difficult to identify. This looked bad live to me.
Underclass games (and varsity games) get a lot of travels that never actually happen. So this not being called properly would not be a surprise to me.
Peace
