Foot Shuffle: High School

[cropduster]

Last night high school game called several travel violations for shuffling feet. Had fans ( in a packed gym) yell out "this aint no little league game". In past conversations with my mentor-teacher, he calls these.

My question to the board is, do you all call these? I see that the shuffle and many 1-2-3 steps in NCAA go uncalled, so, what do we do, join the rest or call the walks?

High school game - if they shuffle, call it. Players should know how not to travel at this level.

yes I do. For example last night high school game. 7 seconds left, team a has the ball and down by three. Team a comes up the floor, they position themselves for the three. the guard gets a good look, crowd is going crazy,he shoots, horn sounds, swish the ball goes in. I call off the shot, no basket, he traveled. game over. Team a's coach yells a little but agrees good call. the guard shuffled his feet before he shot the ball.

Absolutly. How can you NOT call it?

Call it. The fan's right. You *might* let it go in a little league game, but not at the hs level.

What? That's not what the fan meant? Oh, then who cares what he thinks?
