Agree completely. I always say that traveling is my toughest call, but the guy changed his pivot foot 4 times.

The third play....I've watched that play dozens of times and I still haven't seen an angle that would convince me of the correct call- one way or the other.
Agree again.

the consensus was that the call had to be made because the admitted minimal contact forced the dribbler OOB.
And I agree yet again. The only thing that makes this even a debatable call is the clock. It's obviously a foul to me because the contact forced the dribbler to step out of bounds. I'd love to have a force-out here, but there's no such thing anymore. Yes, it would've been great if the ref had hesitated for 2 tenths of a second. But he called the contact that he saw. It's not his fault the defender made a stupid play.
