OUCH!

Looks like a travel to me. The left foot was the pivot foot and he moved it twice.

I will admit I had to watch this twice to come to this conclusion.

Peace

Ah, yes. The ol' "let's switch pivot feet and dazzle the sh*t outa them" move.

Good clip, Tom. Did it get called?

Good one, Tom!

*Tweet!!*
That way!

My 11 year old coulda called that one.....

Its a travel to me. I wonder how many of us would have let it go?

Obviously 3 D1 officials let this go...you can see all 3 officials in the clip..no one called it.

It appears to me he walks 3 different times....the obvious pivot foot switcheroo....then he picks up his pivot foot before he dribbles, the little hop...then when he ends the dribble it appears his left foot is the pivot, which he then shuffles to square up...granted at full speed I wouldn't call the last 2 either, and to tell ya the truth I am like Rut, I had to look twice at the first one...

The first one I wasn't sure of either but the hop to start his dribble sealed the deal for me.

Oh well...

Sure he traveled. But D1 guys ignore this call all the time. No surprise. C should have had the first one.

WTH are these guys looking at?

Macaroo Wed Apr 27, 2005 02:55pm

I saw 2 travels upon first viewing. The quick shuffle (second travel) is routinely let go in HS games; drives me crazy.

The D-1 guys I know are told to not micromanage travels (in other words, call the <i>really</i> obvious ones). So basically, they just stop looking for travels and only call them when it's obvious to everyone.

I'm not sure I would've caught the switch of the pivot foot initially, but the shuffle afterwards seemed obvious.

Keep those videos coming!

brainbrian Wed Apr 27, 2005 04:50pm

There's an obvious switching of the pivot feet there. And the reason he switched pivot feet is because the defender went for the ball. This probably should have been called. If he switched pivot feet with no one around outside the three point line this one might have been okay. But you've got to reward the defense. You can't just let everyone travel to avoid turnovers.

But I know I've missed some calls in my games and wished I had slow motion replay. :D
