However, it was perfectly in line with the trail's point-of-view. Note that this was a 2-man game. Perhaps you were thinking it was the C in the foreground of the video?

It is obvious this is a 2 Person game, I never was thinking otherwise. And in a 2 Person game I am even more careful to make calls I "think" happen before I call something in my partner’s area. With the Lead standing right there and the play took place clearly in his area. The player barely spun into the lane. As a Trail I better be 1000% sure something happen in another official’s area. And without a clear look at the left foot and ball status, I really am not calling a travel based on this angle. There is a reason why we want officials closer to the lane than this official appeared to be standing and definitely closer than this camera angle. Just because we are looking from a fixed position far away (in the backcourt of this play I might add) from the Trail, does not mean that is a better angle or look than the Trail on this video had. I must make it very clear again, the officials on the game passed on this play for a reason. What that reason was we will just have to ask them.
