This reply is in regards to the original question of the traveling at the 3 pt. line. This is something I've been noticing for a while which originated in the NBA. A good example is to watch Alan Houston catch the ball at the 3 pt. line. Every time, he catches it on his left and switches to his right. This has never been regulated in the NBA and filtered down to the NCAA and NFHS. I see it all the time in my D I games. I have called it and learned quickly to ignore. The fact is, we are the only ones who notice it. Traveling has become a call that seems to only result in a crowd reaction or obvious action. Not that I agree with the direction it's going, but I want to keep my job...and it's as simple as that! Stay with the 4 basics and you can't go wrong: Stay in your Primary, Trust your Partner, Referee the Defense and CALL THE OBVIOUS!!!
