Here's where we are:

1. This is the rule.

2. This is how we're going to call it.

The two seem to be getting farther apart to me.

In the NBA and the NCAA a travel immediately followed by a shot attempted is often ignored, apparently by design. I see too many to believe otherwise.

I have not seen the play at hand. Apparently it is a given that Kidd did indeed move the pivot foot. (minutely?)

Unwritten rule: If the violation is minute, it could/should/must be ignored?

This sucks. Now we must decide what is minute.

The argument that it was not seen in real time is often valid, but not the point. If I miss it, it's just missed. Sometimes the miss is justified, sometimes not. But if I see it, and I call it, and any replay does confirm it, nobody can complain.

If making a technically correct call, no matter how minute, keeps me from returning anywhere, I don't care to be there.
