Down goes Frazier...

No flag for clipping, either.

Also, look at this. This sure looked like a travel in real-time, but watching it slowed down...

And the first 4-point play I've seen this season:

(I'd have pulled out shorter clips, but not quite sure how to do that, so I bookmarked some times.)

I have been fooled by that "travel" a couple of times recently also. Find the pivot foot, find the pivot foot, find the pivot foot!!

And I had a 4 pt. play last Thursday! Very similar to yours.

Watched it several times; still not sure his right foot wasn't the pivot.

Funny thing, nobody said a word. It's only me watching the entire game did I pick this up.

I need to watch more film.

That works just fine. Thanks for sharing.

(I also think the left was the pivot.)

just out of curiousity; can you give a rundown of the conversation that occurs between yourself and the coach at 31:45? The smack on the *** cracked me up.

Another thing I didn't notice until watching the film, too. I laughed at that.

It was a conversation he started with my partner, I think, about the home team and getting elbows involved. Since I switched after reporting, I kicked my partner out of there, so I asked the coach if there was anything he wanted to tell/ask me. Not something I'd do with great frequency, but I was pretty sure it would be along those lines and not a big deal. The pat on a butt was not noticed -- the pat on the back after I fell was. We were both laughing after he realized I was OK.

watching the feet on the catch is the only way to get better at the travel/non-travel play.....

his left foot was the pivot foot; no travel.

it's GREAT that you're watching film.....it's the ONLY way to get better!!!!!

I found another thing in the video. My counting of the 10-second count speeds up and slows down depending on how fast I'm moving. I was not aware of this and my counting, on average, was actually too fast, which is pretty hard to believe.

Worked a juco men's game tonight (101-94 final, BTW), and I counted "1-thousand-one" etc. as I swung my arm. A huge improvement, at least based on my perspective. When I get more film, I'll know how much better I'm doing.

When you're ripe, you rot, and all that...

I started using the "thousand" count this season to keep my count consistent.

I had the shot clock to help tonight, but I won't in my HS game tomorrow. I should arrange for a DVD tomorrow.

Let me add this: I'm glad I'm not the only one to do this. I thought my count was consistent, but the video proved otherwise. Anything I can do to make my work better, I will.

That's how I've done it since I started.

Me too. I've got video coming soon, though, so I'll have a chance to check.

Timer?

I've used a stopwatch/timer to help with my counts. The good news is that the speed of my count doesn't vary with my foot speed, but I have found that it tends to get faster if more pressure is placed on the ballhandler (either backcourt or closely guarded). Weird.

May need to try the "thousand" trick...
