Backcourt Violation called (Video) - Was this the right call?

[#olderthanilook]

RE: traveling violation - does the T have the proper angle that allows him to definitively see the status of the ball and player control? I'm not certain he does from what this video reveals. And, that's essential when determining if a traveling violation occurs. I'm not even sure the C has a good secondary look.

It's also essential to ruling a BC violation on a throw-in.

I didn't mean to imply that there are different ways to land. Saying "normal landing" was incorrect.

Normal landing is the wording used in the rules book. It is completely correct to use it as your determining standard. Now you must articulate what those words mean to you. If you can't, how can you make a judgment on such a play?

I'm on my phone, so I'm not the most articulate now. But I'll try...

Basically if one foot down is immediately followed by the other, or you don't believe the player intended to land on only one foot, then I'd let it go as a normal landing and not a violation in this case.
