A travel call here, IMO, is a weak call.

There. I've said it. I think finding/calling a travel here and ignoring the elbow is a great way to avoid sacking up and making a tough call.

Those who advocate a travel here -- is it safe to assume you do NOT advocate now penalizing the dead ball contact as a technical foul?

And frankly, I've watched it about 5 times just now and I just don't see a blatant travel, if one is there at all. I see an elbow clocking a defender in the face, though.
