Play 3. I don't understand what the trail is looking at. He isn't straight lined, the defender doesn't block his vision. It looks to me like he just passes on a blatant travel.

By no means am I defending him, because it was so clearly and obviously a miss, but the only thing I can think is that the player's body was between him and the ball, and he incorrectly assumed that the player had to have taken a dribble, because what D1 athlete travels that bad?!!

A slightly analogous situation, the play that I call late or possibly miss the most especially at the varsity level or higher is double dribble. Not because it's a hard call to make, but it catches me off guard every single time, because what player doesn't realize that they can't do that? My only thought for play 3 is that the official incorrectly thought that he simply didn't see the dribble.

Some people just don't think we should be calling travels. (Not saying that is the case for this official).
