That play is in this series of highlights. At 1:20 specifically

I don't begrudge officials missing small shuffles when there is so much contact - but the one you are referencing is pretty egregious.

Trail needs to get this one.

I was working a HS game late this season with a retired collegiate official (now a clinician) where I called a spin move travel on a move to the basket as T. He politely excoriated me at halftime. While not the same as this play, his point was that there’s a movement at higher levels these days not to call ANY travels on moves to the basket. But watching a play like this one, I think this philosophy might be causing outside officials to swallow some absurdly obvious travels.

Maybe it’s time to move the philosophical needle a bit back to the right.
