They receive the pass, establish pivot, move non pivot foot, then pivot, all with in a second or so time frame.

That said, watching recent ACC/BIG TEN Challenge, I saw the same violation plus other numerous traveling situations. Mostly however when player in possession was not being closely guarded.

My question is do our D1 brethern pass on these calls as there is no real advantage/disadvantage? If so, would you only call it if egregious?

I cant speak for D1 officials, but I know that traveling is kind of a weak spot for me. I have set a goal this year to do a better job at making sure the player has control of the ball and then has established a pivot. We often times do it the other way around and call travels when the player hasnt gained control of the ball yet. It is a POI in the NCAA. Just my 2 cents.
