Who cares if the place goes nuts. Seems like it's a problem at the HS level where none of your partners want to make the same call. Does your supervisor/assignor go nuts?

What I get tired of is blaming college basketball for what is or isn't allowed at the HS level. If it is not being called at the HS level, it's because HS officials don't want to call it. That has nothing to do with what goes on in a college game in Fort Myers.

Play #1: Looked suspect at first, but replays show the hand in the back causing the defender to lose his legally-gained position. Good call.

Play #2: Heck, even I saw a travel in realtime, and I suck at calling traveling.

My point was this:

If your locality calls this traveling and all your officials consistently call this traveling, then what's the problem?

I called a lot of bad spin moves traveling this year. Whether they're called that way in the B1G means nothing to me as an official. It means more if the coach says "he's done that move all year and you're the first person to call that."
