It is a violation, but the NBA doesn't seem to follow much of a rule book. Are there any traveling violations that aren't called in a normal game (granted, fighting is a world different, but it is a violation)? On this website a couple of years ago we had a posting with an interview with the head of officials in the NBA. There was a quote in it that, to paraphrase, the right call is not the best call. To me, once rules are applied in this way, its not a sport, but entertainment. I used to enjoy the NBA, but every year it seems to move farther and farther away from the way I believe the game should be played.
