Play 2: The ship has sailed on this ever being called traveling, right?
|
#1: I'm cool with the foul. Possession consequence on that one. Slight shove allowed the FGCU player to get the ball.
#2: Only whistle there should've been a travel. Otherwise, play on. |

That's never going to be called, but I wonder: Why does anyone really care?
I'm amazed at the officials that almost seem to take personal offense at this. |

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. |

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." |

Sorry, but if this is missed, it is also missed at the high school level a lot. We are not pure and this move has nothing to do with what players see on TV. When you do call many travels players and coaches have no idea anyway why we call them. They do not get the concept of a pivot foot or what constitutes a travel anyway and complaining about it is not going to make them understand even more. Travels are hard to see often for a lot of reasons. I watch enough high school tapes to see this clearly. And I call my fair share of travels that I know many officials almost never call. Peace |

In play #1, I can see the foul call, and would not dispute it, but I really don't think the hand in the back is what caused the player going for the rebound to move forward like that, a) I think he was moving forward anyways, and b) it was a longer rebound, and was over his head regardless. If the officials pass on this call, I would be absolutely fine with it. |
