Travel anyone?

Sniper is right. Sullinger flipped his feet there.

Let's say there was no travel. I thought the foul was a good call.

Contact (perhaps a foul) followed by a travel, followed by contact that was called.

Technically a travel and technically a foul.

Peace

In HS, he would have put his arms straight up after hearing the whistle.

Notice how often, when viewing NCAA video, the commentary contains:

"if you're not gonna call the travel...."

Ha! Exactly.

Trail should have got that travel...looks really bad in slow mo. Lead was obviously consumed with the player's upper bodies and their contact, just missed the feet.

Travel all the way.

I'm afraid I have to play devils advocate and say no foul:eek:, but the travel was obvious.

Pretty easy Shooting Foul IMO...

Too bad he won't be on the line to shoot though, because I'm calling that dance move of his a Travel.

Travel and a foul.

Missed call on the travel, but moreso by the T than the L. I think many officials shift focus from the feet to separation at some point in the move to the basket, and perhaps was the case on this play.

Definitely a 2 referee play! Maybe the L was a "my area" type of guy & the T let him "live & die" with the obvious violation :D

Get plays right!

Defenders arms were not vertical on the shot.

At full speed it looks like a no call to me (assuming travel call is missed). Defensive guy has good position, and offensive guy is out of control and creating the contact (ie invading the defender's vertical space).

Travel on A followed by illegal contact by B.

Lead made the right call since he's looking for contact. Trail decided to pass on the travel for whatever reason....

But is the defender staying within his vertical space?

That's the $1 million question. Full speed, the defender has established his spot on the floor. In slow mo he is sliding a bit, but I would have a hard time rewarding a whirling durbish, out of control move like that with free throws. Otherwise any crash test dummy can barrel down the lane and draw a foul any time he wants. I'm obviously in the minority here though.

Out of control? Are you kidding? These are Division 1 athletes. That's just a good move to the basket. I wouldn't even consider that out of control in a HS varsity game.

The travel was missed, but this was an easy, easy foul -- the defender brought his arms down and didn't stay in his vertical space.

OK, but what about the defender's arms? I would not say those are within his own vertical space.

I think his arms are vertical. However, the endline look clearly shows his upper body leaning forward out of his vertical ... FOUL.

To me, the arms are a non-issue. I have B's body/torso moving forward at the time of contact, which is before arm contact.

That's what I saw in the very first replay, full speed.

They may be vertical with his body, but leaning forward like that they're not perpendicular to the ground, that's for sure.
