It's rare that any of us move on our philosophy in these threads, so I wonder what the point is sometimes. There are people here (and I'm not specifically referring to the post I'm responding to) who think traveling is a major problem in hoops and it's their goal to let everyone know that. And I just don't care -- I just want to get the ones I'm expected to get (that actually are travels).
I don't think traveling is a big problem, and I don't want to call a travel that has to be reveiwed in stop motion animation replay to verify. This video, while close, seems clear enough to me that I'd call it in real time.
Certainly it's close enough I'm not going to say the guy on the floor with a better angle of the gather was wrong.
