D-1 game, preventive officiating. Syracuse wasn't pressing. I had a big time assignor tell me this summer, "It's not what you call, it's what you don't call." Sound advice at that level.

Yeah, I don't officiate college ball but have several friends that I officiate HS ball with who do college also. Some of them have been told by their college assignors to pretty much ignore violations in the backcourt that occur without pressure by the defense (traveling, double dribble, carry etc.). Sometime I'd like to see an offensive player in backcourt with no pressure just quit dribbling and walk up the floor carrying the ball.
