You have to be able to explain using these rules to the core. These rules are well thought out and genius. Amazing how many people don't understand these. They just go by "it looks like a travel" .

Your initial premise is not a given. If the officials had called a travel and said the ball was gathered sooner, with the left foot down, I couldn't argue with that based on the video.
