Oh, and the travel is Lead's call. Trail doesn't have primary on post traveling until we are in a frontcourt offense situation....in transition this is Lead's call. Trail should have a cadenced secondary whistle on the play if Lead misses it.

I agree. Wait and come if needed.

Maybe the "director", Mr. Webb, just wanted us to consider calling these fouls, and to eventually decide not to call these fouls?

Grasping at straws here guys.

Silly IAABO monkeys.

Cool graphics. Right?

"Let's Go To The Videotape" was my favorite part.

I'm surprised that this wasn't nominated for a Golden Globe Award.

Webb needs to retire. His time has passed.
I only wish to add that instead of discussing grasping, which the action in the video clearly is not, the IAABO instruction could have elected to highlight the rule prohibiting dunking a dead ball. That too would be picky in this case, but at least could be justified by rule.
The coaching box rule is being broken, but one must consider the strictness of enforcement in the particular league/area/state. Call it how your governing authority desires.
