It appears that the travel was near the lane, not at the 3 point line. From what they showed, I think it was a travel because the dribbler picked up the ball and established the left foot as his pivot foot. He then put down his pivot foot, got his feet together and shot the ball. If that was what was called, it was the proper call. And according to CBS, Hank Nichols said the call was right. Gumbel and his other pundits said the call was missed, even when they broke down the call in slow motion. The problem is that they have no understanding of the rule. Craig Kellogg used the 1 and 1/2 steps to describe what is allowed. I just want to know what 1 and 1/2 steps is?
I think one of the problems is that is not a travel called enough and most people would not call it regardless of the time of the game.
Peace
