I am ok with a travel call here as most have said there are multiple opportunities to make the call on this one play. As someone who calls more travels than most of my peers I appreciate this get.

Now the only mitigating factors are the manner in which the game was officiated all along. I know a lot of high school officials who aren't calling those catches or take offs consistently or at all. If you've gotten it all game, go ahead and get it again. If you only got it because its late in the game that is a problem. If the standard for footwork is not set early and consistently getting this in this situation could be problematic.

To Hugh...they were fans at the game. I don't drop any stock in that, one of them was a friend of mine asking about it...I chimed in and reviewed it for my own learning. It's the correct call.

Panther - It was whistled with 4.3 left in a tight game. I wasn't there but some of the comments were around the time of the call. Not sure how it was officiated all game as I wasn't there. I'm sure those in disagreement were parent/fans of that team who ended up losing.

Appreciate the feedback guys! Good ongoing study video if you ask me as it was a pretty quick play.
