If I see it clearly, I'm going to call it....until one of my supervisor's tells me to stop calling in his games. ;)

Request video clip 2:45 in OT Virginia player Kyle Guy drives toward the baseline and looks like he tripped over his own players foot who is setting a pick but Texas Tech player David Moretti was called for the foul.

In the excitement at the establishment last night, I missed the dribble.

Actually, the play led to the Hunter rebound and Owens' 5th foul on the put back.

I need to find the time stamp for the held ball that was called.

The earlier jump ball I was referencing happened at 10:38 of the 2nd half.

Appreciate you posting all these plays Rut.

I second that.

The defender, anticipating the moment of contact, throws his head back. This seems to run counter to the law of physics. If contact was initiated by the ballhandler, wouldn't the defender's head have recoiled forward?
Valid point?

Re: the step backs play 1 & 2. NFHS rules if he's got the ball in two hands (or has in the official's mind ended his dribble) with that plant foot on the floor then pushes back into a hop if he doesn't land on 2 simultaneously its a travel.

NOW:

- That is the rule in NCAA and NFHS. FIBA, NBA, etc that is not a travel anymore. I concede it is an NCAA game so move on.

- The judgement elements. Official must clearly be able to see dribble ended. Ie if he steps back while 1 hand stayed on top or on side of ball he could in theory just be taking a long high dribble. So Official must be sure dribble ended with push foot still on floor. Official must also be sure feet came down seperately. If a game where they are officiating the defense that is a lot of if's.

- The when in Rome factor. Reality of spacial advantage is not realisitcally that drastic from landing on 2 and a quick 1-2. So ignoring/choosing to allow the move isn't creating that drastic of an advantage and is one the high level players/coaches/leagues are now expecting to be allowed regardless of how rule of written.

Could you call it a travel and be right by rule. You betcha. I don't have to make that determination anymore because regardless its not a travel in my rule set.

The NF and NCAA Rules on this are exactly the same. There is no difference so not sure what you are talking as to say what it no longer is at the NF level. I cannot and will not speak for FIBA or the NBA as I do not work those levels.

Well just so you know, the NCAA Men's side as one of the directives they talk about all the time is traveling and moves like this. We do not see a lot of these moves at the NCAA level, but I have seen them called or similar moves called. I would not be surprised if the NCAA highlights this move or another move in this game to talk about traveling at some point.
