"Now this is just an example of how HS officials love to find a travel in something that clearly is backed up by video that was not a travel. But we worry about the travel we have to slow down and call but hardly seem to be worried about the travel that we call that did not happen. " by JRutledge

I agree. This is probably the most frustrating thing for me as a coach of young players:: trying to teach them footwork i.e. (the jump stop) or moves like this one and a ref blows the whistle and I truly don't think they understand the rules for a travel. It is way more frustrating to see a travel call when there was no violation than to see a no call on a travel.
And no offense to Ceasars Ghost but when I see posts like that it means you must not understand the rules for travel in great detail. You have to understand pivot foot and gather of the ball. Don't they have videos to demonstrate gathering of the ball and establishing pivot foot?.
