Not in Minnesota.

Watch it again, it didn't even look like he was watching the drive.

Man, you guys are ticking me off. I was looking forward to another thread on Billy Packer.

Wow!

I noticed that too and he may have incorrectly used a PC signal for a foul on 22 (or 23 can't see for sure) possibly. I think he pointed in the general direction of that area, that was where he was looking and 22 did have two hands on the back of the defender who was trying to box out.

I still disagree, but this might make a little more sense.



edited to change player number

What I like is the reaction of the players. Not only the offense but the defense too.

Yeah - I had that Earl Strom autograph model that my mom accidentally threw out with my comic books. :(

In fact, I'd like to have back that comic, "Wonder Woman Makes Billy Packer Her Biatch". ;)

If you enjoyed the other clip ... these are worth a look as well.

Lebron James on a break away ...

And notice how many times the pivot foot is switched in this one!

The Dan Majerle video is excellent (in a sad, pathetic, wow the ref really missed the call, kinda way) - gotta be 9 or 10 steps there!

Missed the call?:confused:

When did they start calling traveling in the NBA?

precisely.....

When they do call travel i have to laugh! :)

Andy, my guess is you are referring to the ref waiving with his off arm as he is holding up his fist and that is what is leading you to say the call was a push off. I thought so too at first. I've now come to believe that he is simply doing a lame "no basket" mechanic with one arm. I mean, if this ref can blow that call that badly, I have no reason to believe his mechnics are right. But then again, this is clearly old footage and perhaps that was the right way to signal no basket.

Boy, that call sucked.

By the way, have you guys ever actually checked the NBA rule for travelling? We just presume it is the same as ours. It isnt. Here it is, in part:

a. A player who receives the ball while standing still may pivot, using either foot as the pivot foot.
b. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may use a two-count rhythm in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball.

A two count rhythm? He he he. I can just hear that explanation to a coach:

Coach: "Ref, that was a travel!"
Ref: "No, coach, he was in his two count rhythm."

"We" do? I certainly don't presume any such thing.
