Out of control? Are you kidding? These are Division 1 athletes. That's just a good move to the basket. I wouldn't even consider that out of control in a HS varsity game.

The travel was missed, but this was an easy, easy foul -- the defender brought his arms down and didn't stay in his vertical space.
