"NBA traveling"? I thought that was an oxymoron, like "Packer's correct". :D

(That's Billy, not Green Bay).

In fact, "Billy Packer" is an oxymoron without the oxy. :p

Ok, how about "I did." And my guess is just about everyone else does or did too until they looked it up and found it was different. Feel better now? :) I shouldnt have said "we" and I didnt mean to speak for you, obviously.

Man, sometimes this board descends into bickering and nitpickicking for no good reason. Luckily, these are great boards despite that characteristic.

How do you know he's not under the influence of oxy-cotin?

Now I'm not saying this is or isn't the worst call in history, but sometimes the tape isn't always right.

I got a fast break. I'm old Trail moving down court to become new lead. The ball handler and one defender. The ball handler does the lower the shoulder run into the defender ugly push off thing. I come up with a PC foul. right in front of ball handlers bench. So we got the coach yelling at kid about lowering the shoulder. ;)

My wife tapes me every now and then. That game was tape night. Later on I'm watching the tape and it truly looks like the ball handler just drops the ball. You could not see everything else. You can hear the coach yelling at the kid so I know I didn't imagine the whole thing though on that tape you would have thought I was making stuff up.

I'm just saying there are limitations to film.

Exactly...Frank nailed it!!! :D

I actually saw this called on Friday during a holiday tournament game I was watching. It was several games before mine and I just happened to be sitting at the scorer's table taking in all the action (it was on a college court, so the table had plenty of room).

worst video
 
I don't think the video is that great. maybe the shooter got too far under the backboard and did that lateral movement and initiated contact with the defense. it doesnt look like he hit the defense that hard, and there's so many players in the way that what if he kicked his feet out funny and actually kicked the defense? at the angle we're watching it, its really hard to tell. if he barely hit the defense its a weak call, but probly not the worst call.

I don't think this is the worst call ever. its a bad & hard to see video.
