Same one as when the thrower violates by taking more than 5 seconds to release the throw, right?

Based on a couple of his stories, you may already have done his games.

He told me I was wrong and that is the proper call - a travel. Is this even close to being correct?

Isn't this just a violation and point to the spot? You should never call this a travel, correct?

I would have asked him, "So the thrower has to keep his pivot foot?" The answer would have told me all I needed to know.
