Nothing like a great camera angle to make fans think they're referees.
It was a great camera angle, not b/c you could see that he didn't double-dribble but b/c you could see the postion of the trail. He was completely straight-lined behind Chauncy.

I thought it was a good example of why you should not make a call if you are not in position and do not see it clearly. I was pretty suprised that he called it due to the traveling violations that happen every other play in the NBA.

That being said this is an NBA Official that is working a Conference Final so let me finish by saying that the official that was there for Prince's block was in perfect position and made a great no-call. The commentators had one thing right, they kept saying "This is a very hard game to officiate" I will second that notion!
