Yeah, but that's not with the supervisor's approval.

I will say not totally true.

There is a different in interpretation of traveling:

There is a obvious travel and the other is not so obvious.

One is everyone can observe.

The other is not.

So supervisors not totally knowing is not totally true.

I can't wait for the first "But he gets two steps" this year from a howler monkey who has watched some NBA games.

My head hurts. I will say, you rarely see the little incidental travels called at that level. You know the ones, with no advantage and they only constitute a bit of a shuffle after gathering the ball. They're easy to spot but rarely called.

It's not ignoring the rule so much as interpreting it in a way that helps you advance.

Now that it’s officially in the rule book as two steps, the officials will be instructed to allow three steps.

I have only one question:

How does this affect the crab dribble?

Ask this guy...

This is horrible. It will leak down to the high school games.

What are we supposed to call? Call what they see everyone on TV get away with? Hopefully the NCAA officials will stick to the rule which is quite simple.

I wasn't attempting to say ignore the rule. I was just addressing the comment that supervisor(s) may not know.

Most of them do, they want the obvious one(s) called and the one(s) were no advantage in gained passed on. That's the point I was attempting to make.

Gotcha. Sorry, I wasn't reading clearly.
