We can't see if he moves his left with the ref in the way.

BTW, way to circle the wagons, even with the ref admitting fault.

And now that I'm re-reading this entire thread, who the f**k circled the wagons? May you be so kind to point the specific post that indicates a "circling of the wagons"?

He may be the coach of one of the teams I had last week. I knew it was going to be a long game when he called his "set" play. It was called: Circle The Wagons. ISUN!

Also, are we sure it wasn't a 10 sec back court?

Hey - at least it wasn't called "Circle The Biebers"!

WOW! some of you guys might want to consider decaf.

Let me translate circling the wagons in this case.

The ref makes a bad call. He apologizes it was a bad call. And yet people here are talking like parents in the stands. "what about the travel? he traveled! Hey ref, look for the travel!" Although in this case, instead of admitting fault of a fellow ref and moving on, the finger pointing at the travel is to "circle the wagons"

In my view, with this sort of thing, it is better to take an impartial view.

BTW, wrong time of the month for some of yall? Full moon maybe?

Except what we do as officials is break down plays and judge whether the correct rule was applied and whether it was accurate. Yes there was an incorrect backcourt violation call. There was also a travel that would have occured. It's not an indictment on the official or his abilities. If we can't do that, then forget any of us getting any better from learning from the mistakes of others.

You might consider reading Fun with Dick and Jane. NOBODY has said anything but it was a bad call on the backcourt ruling.

On behalf of all of us, piss off until March 2012, fanboy. If you can't understand the answers you're given, you don't belong here.

No, we just abhor morons who point fingers yet don't even know what constitutes a travel.

We knew he made a bad call within a minute after the play occurred. You're kinda slow. Maybe that's why we moved on to discussing whether or not there was a travel and you're still sitting in the stands showing us why you are not an official and never will be.

Still waiting for you to explain how catching the ball in the air and then landing on your right foot doesn't make your right foot the pivot. Let us know when you'll admit that mistake instead of circling your wagon or whatever it is you do when sitting alone in front of a computer.

I am very late to this discussion and I know you are a dumbazz. The only thing I cared about was this a travel. It was obvious the BC violation was not right.
