So are you guys sure that he's wrong? At this point I don't know what to think.

In the NBA, an recovering an airball shot IS a travelling violation, where it's not at other levels. My guess is that this ESPN person didn't make the distinction. I think the easiest way to stop this sort of folly, would be to require announcers to quote passages. But I suppose that's more accountability than network folks are comfortable with.
