You are right, you have the benefit of your DVR. The officials on the floor did not.

Perhaps you have one.

What makes you think they "ignored" (your word) a travel as opposed to just missed a travel?

My point is that I bet if I go to your game, I probably can find a lot of things missed (travels, carries, fouls, judgments). I know when I watch tape of myself. I do not see perfections either. Then again I am not coming here stating that they missed but I would do better. Now that is your right to say that, but it is a lot easier to say what should be called on the sideline. And in my opinion spin moves are very difficult to identify at a higher speed than most of us ever see. I would rather have a technically missed travel and a travel that did not take place being called. I wish I had a dollar for every time I see a non-violation called by high school officials, I would be rich.
