I honestly hope this doesn't sound like I'm being a jerk, but what other rule sets -- plural -- are there? I only know of NBA, and they haven't called traveling the same as the rest of the world in 50 years.

Now that I think about it, I suppose technically FIBA rules are in the USA, since the USA does send international teams into competition. But I think their travel rule is the same as NCAA, isn't it?

Not anymore. As of 2017, FIBA has adopted the NBA interpretation when it comes to the end of a dribble. The nice thing about that interpretation is that you're not passing on the travel, it is not a travel. The FIBA rule book is online in case some of you doubt me.

Why is this "nice"? If everybody here agrees that this is a travel, but it's never called, why isn't it called? I called it for years, but finally decided that it truly was unfair and counterproductive when "they've been letting him do that all year."

It's always nice when the letter of the law adapts to what's expected.
