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.

Peace

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

Others probably feel differently.

I totally agree with this. I did not think it was a travel when I first saw the video.

100% agreement on this sentiment.

What's your feeling on 3 seconds ?

I don't avoid making the call just for the sake of not making it if that's what you're asking.

I've probably called it 4-5 times this season, which makes it an average year for me -- it's always one that I've had to get because of the advantage gained by the player being in the lane.

I was making a joke. There are some officials that make 3 seconds and travel calls their calling cards.

They must, cause I hear coaches and fans screaming it out all the time.

Like the first year guy I worked with last night, who has called maybe 20 games, who had probably 20 travel calls in two JH games? And after he kept saying pivot foot this, pivot foot that? Yeah, call the ones that need called but don't be that guy

Aren't you a fairly new official? You can't really give a first year guy a hard time - let's not forget we were first year officials once and we weren't god's gift to officiating then either. We all have to learn...

Yep, in basketball anyway. didn't give him a hard time at all. Just making an example that if that is what you are going to hang your hat on, need to work harder on other things. Especially since about half of them were not travels.

And I never said I'm gods gift. FAR FAR FAR from it. It's why I'm here.
