I'm darn sure I understand the "traveling" definition but here is a situation from last night that neither my partner nor I called:
On the rebounding of a missed free throw by A1, A2 rebounds in the air and falls to the floor. He lands right on his behind...fall barely broken by his legs. Coach B wants traveling immediately. I was trail, partner was lead. He passed on the call. I hesitated a half-second to give him a chance to blow it. Like I said, he passed...and before I knew it, MY DAMN whistle didn't go off either. We no-called it. To make matters worse (even though the game went pretty good), A2 passes to A3 who gets fouled by B1. I call the foul, and it's B1's 5th foul. I have to go over to coach to tell him 5th foul on B1. He wants to know why my partner didn't call traveling because "it was his area". I tell him that he may not have known that A2 had possession when he went to the ground. I told him that, for myself, I wasn't sure A2 had possession until he hit the ground. He wasn't happy, but I told him to mark it down as a missed call by both of us and lets play on. Anyway, after the game, I talk with my partner and he tells me that if a A2 got possession in the air and comes down on the ground it isn't travel. I said, "I think you're wrong. In this situation, I think it is travel." We talked a bit more about it, promised to look it up, and said we'd see each other at the association meeting on Monday night. After looking it up under Section 43 (Traveling), article 5A, I believe I was correct. Was I? Let me know Bktballref! [Edited by Indy_Ref on Jan 12th, 2002 at 01:13 PM]
