This was my thought as well. But, I'd venture to say that I probably would have made the same call if I was the L.

1) Maybe a travel, close to tell. I don't see it.
2) Not a double dribble
3) Good call with the POE for cleaning up rebound action
4) Good call

#1 I would pass on the travel, it's a game interrupter there and in real time IMHO the collection does not come before "step 1" of 3 in the travel sequence.

2,3,4 all correct.

#5 I don't think the lead can see the last contact of the ball by A1. It would be up to the C to come in and help out if he sees it.

Both of your reasons for not calling that a travel are invalid.

Lose the term game interrupter. It only leads not calling the game as it is designed. The defense forces the travel, they deserve the ball.

As for "collection" (or gather, as it is more commonly called), that is not the point where the travel rules start.

By definition, a player that is in control of the ball is either holding or dribbling the ball. The dribble ends (and holding begins) when the ball comes to rest in one or both hands which usually happens well before "collection". At that moment, unless you deem the player has lost control, the player is holding the ball and the travel rules begin. There is no magical third status between dribbling and holding the ball.

#6...I'd stop it on white's made basket. If they had stopped pressing towards a shot, I'd stop it then.
#7. Great call....defender kept moving into the airborne shooter.
