Last Second Shot: Kansas State at Kansas
Thoughts on the coverage of this play:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SJQLUMkpZH4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Putting myself as the C in transition, the "travel" was probably missed due to the secondary defender (#32) setting up in the key as he would get my attention during the drive. I'm not sure why the L was rotating during the drive. |
There is good constructive discussion to be had here, let's keep it to that.

This is a blatant traveling violation. The player took FOUR steps after ending his dribble. It is unfortunate that the winning score resulted from this. The defense didn't have a fair chance.

I agree the travel was blatant but with everything JD Collins preaching about officiating the defense first on drives to the basket, how else is the C supposed to officiate this play in transition? I'm not expecting the KU player to pickup his dribble that far from the key and would look into the paint for the secondary defender. For me, this is a hard play to dissect for coverage. In the end, it'll unfortunately go down as a NCI for the C. |

This is a bad miss, which impacts the outcome of the game. This is the kind of violation that officials are supposed to catch. We discuss quite frequently that we want to get the travels which give a clear advantage. This one is in that category. |

I am a life long KU fan and I called traveling as I watched the game live.

I see him catching after leaving from his right foot, putting his left foot down (pivot foot). He then steps with his right, and his left one more time before alighting for the shot. It's a travel, but I certainly don't see 4 steps.
In real speed, I caught it and verified it in slow motion. But that final high dribble makes it look much worse than it really was, I think. |

Bottom line, it's not as blatant as people want to make it seem. As Adam pointed out, the high dribble throws it off. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk |
