It's NBA, remember. That doesn't mean a lot to most of us here. In the other current thread where the guys goes from the 3 point line without a dribble to dunk, the NCAA guys there show no sign of wanting to call a travel, either.

What does it being a play in the NBA have to do with it? I agree with jeffpea's statement and it looks clearly to me he was just trying to get out of the way of the ball. Even if he was thinking about calling a foul, you wouldn't see an NBA official come out with a blocking prelim on this type of play.

NBA rules and standards for applying rules seem to vary considerably from most NFHS games I see.

They are? Maybe to those that are here, but not to everyone that officiates basketball.

The point is that a lot of people in the officiating communtity do not dismiss everything that happens in the NBA like people here always seem to do. That is the point.

Okay, but you said that in response to jeffpea saying he though the official was getting out of the way. I don't get what the play being in the NBA has to do with that.

I don't know what getting out of the way has to do with it. I would get out of the way, too. I thought the point was that the official did not seem at all inclined to consider a foul call. In the NBA, this did not surprise. In high school, I thought most would call the foul.

We could always have a poll.
