Then you have to call a block/charge immediately after this play. That is the reason I posted the play. It was not just a play that was only a travel, it involved contact that took place right after the move. It is a dilemma, but it is something that has to consider. There are many times when we call a foul but we miss the travel that took place before. And I am not really saying that you should call the travel, just stating it appears he did travel.

Peace

I get it. And what I'm saying is we are on here arguing whether it was a travel or it wasn't. Would anyone argue that there was a foul on the defender following the "travel"? I'm going to say no. Now if the whole gym sees him travel get the travel, but I think you have to come out of this play with a foul.

I have no problem if an official decides to come out with a foul instead of a travel. But I hate it when an official properly rules a play a travel and he gets criticized b/c other officials need to watch a replay to see it.

Not to mention the fact that if it actually is a travel, even if it is very close, it is very unfair to penalize a defender with a block when trying to defend a player that traveled.

It is not all that different than a defender holding an opponent who then pushes off to get free. It would be the wrong thing to call the push off that everyone can see when you know the defender was holding.
