Breaking News in the NBA...
 

Traveling was called twice in about 30 seconds.

Seriously though, I do have a question.

On the first travel, A1 drives to the basket, and tries to lay it in. He finger rolls too hard, and the ball goes completely over the basket without touching anything, and A1 is the first to touch it on the other side.

I believe it was the trail who called traveling. Is the NBA rule not the same as FED on this?

Correct. The NBA rule is NOT the same as that of either the NFHS or the NCAA in this regard.

Actually, even how a pivot foot is established is different in the NBA.

Don't bother to try to obtain anything from how traveling is or isn't called in the NBA unless you are a pro official.

and my son reports in the Heat vs Wizards Game tonight the players earned themselves six T's and two ejections in the first half.........

Just another night in the NBE I guess. :rolleyes:


Truth be told, I have seats for the Hawks vs Wizards next Saturday night. Got em for a good price through the Youth Association I officiate in during the winter.

I'll go to an NBA game if I have the opportunity, but I'll rarely go out of my way to watch an NBA game on TV. Would rather watch a college game any night.

You do not watch a lot of NBA games I see.

Peace

Correct. See my post above yours

Exactly what I was thinking.

And let's not act like six technical fouls and 3 ejections in a game is a normal occurrence in the NBA like you seem to be implying grunewar. :rolleyes:

A player who attempts a field goal may not be the first to touch the ball unless it contacts the basket ring, backboard or another player. Contrast that with NFHS and NCAA where if it's deemed a try, he may be the first to touch the ball.

I saw the post. But you are not the first that listens more to the media than watches actual games. If you did, you would not be surprised by traveling being called in the NBA. No big deal, just if you watch games you will stop believing the media when they make statements about the NBA. You know like the stars get all the calls is a myth too they repeat. I am not a huge fan of the NBA, but I do watch games from time to time and see things are not always what is written or talked about.

I'm well aware that traveling is not non-existent in the NBA, my thread title was tongue in cheek.

It's also not uncommon.

I can tell you I watch plenty of NBA games and can't remember the last time I saw 3 ejections in one game...but that's just me.

So was mine! ;)

Peace

One ejection makes the highlight reel and I cannot think of the time I have seen multiple in games too often.

Peace

7 NBA players have been ejected multiple times this year.

3 ejections tonight in the Wizards-Heat game.

In January, 4 ejections in a Lakers-Clippers game.

Rockets-Suns had 7 T's and 2 ejections a couple of seasons ago

About 3 years, 10 players were ejected in a Nuggets-Knicks game.

We all remember the Pacers-Pistons.

And those are just the ones I remember. Several ejections and a bunch of T's happens 2 or 3 times during every NBA season. Not uncommon.
