I'm not sure if this is the norm, but last year in a summer a game, the trail was about 6 feet shy of crossing half court and called a travel down in the opposite block with the ball handler in heavy traffic. I'd love to know how he keeps his eyesight so sharp
Coach, you know it is not the norm. There are times, however, when a call like that has to be made if (1)trail is not guessing (2)it is a "Must-make call, i.e., hard foul and (3)lead partner missed it (trail should hold up slightly on whistle).
