You guys are right, I am trying to learn as much as I can and like I said in my very first post I don't totally agree with this, it is a walk plain and simple and I have had calls like this before and called it a walk everytime, I was just putting this in there to see how you guys react and see what you guys really thought about it.

I was learning from every word you guys said, I used this as a learning tool to see what the majority thought and kept it going just to see if more would get involved in the topic and agree with this no call.

I know most guys on here are some type of college officials and I apologize for getting you all hyped up and upset about the topic but I had to see how you guys truly felt about the call, and see if you could at all see it the other way.

I hope there are no hard feelings. I gurantee you if that situation ever happens to me you will see me call a walk.

Thanks for the insight. I apologize again.

How about the other clips?
 

I had....

Hold Clip ====> Jump Ball
Block or Charge Clip =====> Player Control
Rebounding ======> Push on GA player
Double Foul ======> Push on GT - I thought the push on GT should have been called, but if they passed on that I don't see a double foul here. The GT player did nothing while he was on the ground. It looked like the Duke player thought he was in a wrestling match.

Anyone disagree with these calls?

Question on the traveling call
 

When both feet are on the ground when a player receives the ball, what determines the pivot foot? Doesn't the player have to pick up on foot completely off the floor? Or does simply lifting the heal and balancing on the toes of one foot make the other foot the pivot?

I know the above does not apply in this case, but the video started me thinking. When I first saw it I thought both feet where on the floor and I couldn't tell if he ever lifted the right foot completely. After looking at it several times it seems to me that the right foot touched down after the left, making the left the pivot.

Thanks!
Randall

Re: How about the other clips?
 

There are threads dedicated to each video clip. Check them out.

Thanks, I didnt know
 

I must have overlooked them. I'll check them out.

Thanks!

I hope you don't beleive that. Thre may be some college officials here...there may even be several. But, it is far from most.

Also, there are many of HS officials that are better than the small time college officials and even some big time college officials but have careers that don't permit them to take off the time required for college schedules. There is no way I could make the travel time for any weekday game around here. I don't get off work until 5-6pm or later. No chance of driving 1-5 hours to a game. There are a few people I know that work college that aren't great but have no limits on their schedule.

There are others that post here that are quite happy to embellish their ability and magnatude of games they get.

You're right Camron. I should have said the guys that I was debating with such as Jurassic, and Dan and tomegun. I mean I assume they are in college since one has an NBA officials phone number, and the others post here so much and have so much incite on every topic.

What am I? Chopped liver? I got 5700 posts. I got an NBA ref's email address. I incite lots of topics!!

My bad Chuck did not mean to leave anyone out. DANG you do have a lot of posts. How old are you? Just playin

I'm older than I once was, but younger than I'll be. That's not unusual.

And don't forget, as time goes on, the percentage difference between those younger, and you, decreases. So that means they get closer to being old faster than you.

(I forgot, did I take my meds this morning?)

No it isn't strange, after changes upon changes, we are more or less the same

After changes we are more or less the same.........
