He is suggesting (what he has suggested for years) that officials deliberately ignore these violations. But he and most never seem to realized, that many of these types of plays are missed. These plays are hard to identify sometimes when you are not only looking for contact, but the feet. And you might not have seen either clearly. It is this stupid myth that NBA just ignores violations and the NF or HS officials are so pure in their application of these violations. I see just as many missed HS traveling calls as I do at all other levels of basketball. That is why traveling IMO is the hardest call to consistently make. And often HS officials call what is "funny" looking, rather than what is actually a violation. This is very much the truth at varsity and lower level games.

Peace
