High School Travel Call (Video)

The guy in the video obviously didn't need slo-mo.

Or did he call what looked funny? We would have to ask him if he knew what really happened.

I've seen too many to count here which may or may not have "looked funny" that were incorrectly no called, so maybe a slight correction in the other direction is not totally unthinkable.

Watching Duke/NC . I was curious to see how long it would take to see a missed obvious travel.

4 minutes

What does a high school game have to do with it? We constantly note travels which are missed/ignored at the college level. You say "Yeah, but they miss them in high school, too." So what? I'm sure they do, but they're not on tv. So now you post a difficult play from a high school game which was correctly called. Not sure what the point was.

I think we have more video from college games. But when I see HS videos, I see a lot of incorrectly called travels whether they be ones that did not take place or ones that were not called.

Again, this is your point you like to make. I have said for years that traveling is the hardest and most inconsistently called thing in all of basketball. I do not care what level we are talking about, we miss travels often. It is not unique to one level.

If we have no way of knowing, why even bother asking the question? Everyone is just going to guess.

Well it is assumed that other levels pass on travels purposely, so why can't we make reasonable assumptions about the high school level?

With as frequent and as obvious as travels often are, the only explanations that fit are that it is purposefully ignored even when it is seen or they just don't even watch for it.

Yep, not wanting to disparage high school officials at all.

I have a travel for the reasons OKREF and Camron spell out above. I'm not sure I would have caught the right as the pivot in real speed, but I am pretty sure I would have got the left foot dragging.

Using video of a correct travel call isn't going to help make some sort of point about high school officials calling travels too much.

I am a high school official too. But this idea that high school officials are pure in how they call the game is maddening to me. I am also not sure it was correct, that is why I wanted opinion in the first place.

Once again, the video is just a video that someone posted on another site. I wanted official's opinions as the people talking about this play were not officials.

I'd rather miss 9 technical (need video to confirm them) travels than call one that's not there.

Others probably feel differently.

I'm not sure anyone has ever said that. I'm sure HS officials get more stuff wrong than college officials (on average). However, with some of the things that are not called in college games that are quite easy to see, you start to wonder what the reason is.
