HAd it been a 7th grade girls game, of a JV game I would have ignored it.
Pivot means pivot, it doesn't mean "except when you need to move to regain your balance".

Phil, apparently you're the only one in the world(except for your buddy) who thought that travelling should have been called on the play. You've made your point-several times. Give it a break and quit lecturing us on the rules. You don't know the rules. You also don't know the philosophy behind the application of the rules. You might have a little bit more credibility if you were actually an official instead of just another fanboy whining about what he thinks is a missed call.
We already got one one North Carolina fanboy posting here- BktBallRef.There's a forum rule that says we don't have to put up with two of you. That's cruel and unusual punishment.
