Question

A few threads ago, there was comment about the rapant carrying the ball in NCAA.

What about the travelling violations? It seems like the officials use a random number generator to decide which ones to call!!

For example, players stepping out to catch a pass near the 3-point line will often catch the ball on one foot (the pivot, now inside 3-point land), step with the other foot (outside 3-point land), and then lift their pivot so that they can threaten a 3-point shot. This move is now commonplace. Even at the high school level it is something that is called only spuriously. Not only is this a violation, it also gives the ball handler a serious advantage.

Any suggestions on how to handle this situation? Has there been any mention of this at higher levels as a point of emphasis?

Comments??
