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.

I hope you are saying that the trail in a 2 person game should not call a travel on a play in the post because such is not the case in a 3 person game.
When the ball is in the post the trail should stay engaged with the play and referee the off. Player's feet. This, as I have stated before, is good team officiating. When you can help your partners do so. On a post play it is hard for the lead to referee contact along with the player's feet and the trail is in great position to see the big picture and aid his lead.
