For me, the trend is disturbing. More and more D1 officials seem to be laying off the travels reviewed by these three clips. I agree...all three are travels. Most disturbing is the way the spin move is ignored. As a HS official, I have seen it increase at my level. I make a point of calling it when I see it. Not all my fellow officials are as vigilant. So now, the trend established at D1 is becoming prevalent in HS. I make a call and I get the "What did I do" routine.
Why does this bother me? BECAUSE IT IS A DEPARTURE FROM THE FREAKIN' RULES! College is becoming more like the NBE...and now it's creeping into the HS game.
