Huge travel missed on knights takeoff, I'm not convinced the move at the end is a travel. I don't see a gather until he's already air borne which makes his landing a regular 2 count stop (pro-hop?) and legitimate.

FIBA I know that is legal to knock the ball away once it is in the rim cylinder or not I'm not sure about NFHS/NCAA.

His left foot was on the floor with ball gathered about 4 feet outside the free throw lane, jumped, landed on the left foot, and then right foot....travel.

From the video posted I can't tell when his foot leaves or when its actually both hands until after he clears the defenders he's splitting. He may have two hands sooner or before he leaps but I don't clearly see that in the video.

True. But NCAA you can swipe away as long as it's not in the cylinder of the hoop. This one wasn't "in" IMO.

Here's one for you: In the NBA-DL (or... NBE-DL) this year they are playing the FIBA rule on this... but not up at the next level. Haven't heard how that's working out, but I saw the press release at the beginning of the year on the change. Thought it was a little strange.
