Is this a preseason video? If so, that particular play was subsequently acknowledged by the NCAA to be correctly called as a travel.

Yes, this is part of the preseason video which was shown at all NCAA clinics prior to the start of the 2009-10 season.

Good to hear that the NCAA has acknowledged the error.

To me it looked like both feet were on the floor when his dribble ended....and that he subsequently lifted and replaced both feet on the floor before his shot...he travelled with both feet.

Possibly, but in real-time it would be very difficult to tell if his right foot was still on the floor when the dribble ended. I'm not splitting hairs on this. The left foot is quite clear.

Oh, no doubt the left foot was his pivot foot. It's just that he lifted and replaced his right foot and then lifted and replaced his left foot before releasing the ball. So regardless of which one was his pivot foot he travelled.

I don't agree with that assessment.

For what it's worth, I think the "simple question" at the 1:02 mark that they never respond with a simple answer attempts to lead incorrectly also. Williams from Tennessee obviously moves his right foot after the catch, and then his left foot scoots closer to the FT circle well before his release of the pass. I think the guy makes a great call.

Guess it depends on when you judge that he gathers his dribble.

Thank heavens! I immediately went to video and watched it a dozen times and was about to hang up my whistle if that wasn't a travel, I was really questioning myself. Having now read subsequent posts, I feel much better.....
