So you are taking a statement that was not associated with, "Call the obvious." Very interesting, way to take one comment and try to apply it to another statement totally unrelated to the last statement.

Personally I really do not care what you think about this single play. I did not ask you about it in the beginning and I am not really trying to convince you of anything right now. I can sleep at night about one travel call missed or made on a game far, far away, with officials I will likely never meet. This would not be the first missed travel in a game and it certainly will not be the last. Traveling is one of the most inconsistently called violations in all of basketball at all levels. Officials call them when they are not actually there, and officials do not call them when they are clearly there.
I do not recall that this was a game breaking call or that anyone really was making a big deal out of it but the people here on this discussion board. Actually the video that was submitted did not even use that as the premise for posting the video online. It sounds like it is a struggle for you to know that people do not agree with you on this. Personally I could be the only one that thinks this is not a travel and nothing in my life is going to change as a result. It is just another discussion where people like to “Monday Morning Quarterback” a play they had the opportunity to run over and over again. The official in this game did not get that opportunity. They had one shot and they made a decision. Whether it is right or not, I am sure God has other things to worry about or other things to condemn them for.
