jcash, I agree with you. This has really stood out to me over and over on slow motion replays of games this week, often when a player gets open, catches a back door pass, and sets himself for a dunk. The rule seems to have rewritten itself on the court. The footwork described here has become a no call at the college level, and is becoming one at the high school level as well. My problem is that our association has never specifically addressed this:
"This play is really a travel, but don't call it." Perhaps others have, anyone? But it is difficult to call this violation on players who have been allowed to do it all season without a call.
