This is just another example where the media and fans think coaches actually know much of anything about the rules. Traveling is horribly, in my opinion, over called at the lower levels. I don't watch much college ball anymore, at least not until March.
He was completely right on the Tyler Hansbourgh, but on that play it looked like there might have been a push. It is possible the official looked at the play and let things go because it was not totally bad.

And he mentioned in the Hansbourgh case that he took 5 steps. Some of those steps were totally legal.
