Also your example at 1:36 if flawed in which one is the pivot foot. That play she catches the ball with both feet on the floor. Either foot could be the pivot foot. Then again I am not sitting and watching the entire video just to know what you want us to comment on.

Peace
I guess what I want reviewed : if you saw these moves would you call them a travel? What percentage of referees would call them a travel? Is this a travel ?

If you had a specific play to look at then I would feel more compelled to comment. I will not be watching the entire video just to judge every play in a 10 minute video. And what other officials would do I have no idea. The couple of minutes I saw there was nothing wrong with the moves and I would not call any of them a travel. Traveling is sometimes one of the most inconsistent calls in the game and certainly that is the case with jump stops. I guess I was expecting a jump stop ruling and that was not the case.

Peace

You'll find that traveling is the most inconsistent calls made/not made in basketball. In high school, in my experience, it leans towards too many officials calling legal plays travels because it "looked weird."

The last play in the clip was a legal play, and IMO, wasn't even that close.
