MOFF--How DO you look at travelling? I have the same questions there!
Jim Dixon -- I went back and lookd through your article, but I still feel the same. I had thought I knew the interpretation of this rule pretty well. It seems pretty cut and dried to me. I' m wondering if I'm wrong about my interp. Your article has some interesting points but it doesn't clarify the details in the way I'm seeking. The plays I saw this guy call appeared to me to be clearly not jump balls, yet that is what he called them. Some of them of course, I didn't get a good look at. But there were several that I saw clearly, at least two where the shooter's feet clearly never left the floor. Or where the ball was not "capped" but slapped out of the ball-handler's hand. Yes, they were both touching it for a fraction of an instant, but there's no was you could say the ball-handler was "prevented from releasing the ball." Quite the contrary, she was forced TO release it! But perhaps there's an interp which I'm missing.
